How Is Cocoa Butter Made?
Cocoa butter is no newcomer to the beauty and health care realms. It’s actually been around for centuries! According to some historical sources, the ancient Aztecs and Mayans were among the first to consume and utilize cocoa as early as 460 AD.
More recently, cocoa butter has made its presence known in mainstream skin products. Further solidifying the legacy of this ingredient was the discovery of phytochemicals in cocoa butter, which help keep skin healthy and smooth.
Cocoa butter is a type of vegetable fat that comes from raw cocoa beans. Manufacturers extract cocoa butter by roasting, stripping, and then pressing cocoa beans to separate the fat. The remaining portion is turned into cocoa powder – one of our favorite bronzer ingredients! Both forms are ideal for not only consumption in chocolate truffles but in skin care, too.
4 Pure Cocoa Butter Benefits for Your Skin
So almost everyone has eaten cocoa butter at some point, and a lot of people rub it all over their skin, too. But what makes this decadent ingredient so great for skin?
Whether it’s the bean, butter, or powder form of cocoa, all of these ingredients are rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants. This makes them instantly beneficial for the skin, helping to protect the skin from sun damage and premature signs of aging. Cocoa butter also has excellent anti-inflammatory properties for soothing dry patches and irritation.
Let’s explore a few pure cocoa butter benefits!
Antioxidant powerhouse Cocoa butter contains high amounts of polyphenols. Studies have shown that polyphenols can help diminish signs of aging, while soothing sensitive or inflamed skin that might be suffering from dermatitis.
As a form of antioxidants, polyphenols neutralize the free radicals that contribute to early signs of aging like fine lines, dark spots, dullness, and loss of elasticity. Dark chocolate is literally packed with polyphenols!
Essential vitamins abound Numerous nutrients and vitamins can be found in pure cocoa butter: vitamin E and vitamin K, choline, magnesium, copper, and iron. Iron is usually found in green leafy foods like spinach and broccoli, and is a great resource for a glowy complexion. Copper is a popular skin care ingredient for supporting healthy collagen and elastin levels for supple, bouncy skin.
Excellent skin moisturizer Pure cocoa butter is high in fatty acids and deeply hydrates the skin, as the fats in cocoa butter form a protective barrier to hold in moisture. It also contains oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, all of which nourish the skin. This makes cocoa butter a wonderful addition to moisturizers, body lotions, and lip balms.
Reduces stretch marks and scars There are many anecdotal claims by women – and scientific studies – that praise the regular use of cocoa butter for stretch marks. When used during pregnancy and postpartum, it can help to lessen the severity of stretch marks. Many mamas believe that cocoa butter can ease the stretch marks struggle by boosting elasticity and replenishing essential hydration.
Curalene cocoa butter cream is a best cocoa butter cream . Because it's made from simple, natural ingredients it's healthy and affordable, and great for your skin!

  How to Use Cocoa Butter for Hair
Cocoa butter can be used in multiple ways, such as:
 Pre-shampoo treatment: Melt the butter, and massage it into your roots, scalp and strands. Leave it on for 10 mins or so and wash off with lukewarm water. Note that cocoa butter remains solid at room temperature, so don’t leave it on your hair for more than 15 minutes. However, if you forget the timer and the butter solidifies, you can apply steam or blow dry hair (just a little) to melt it.
During-wash hair conditioner: Using cocoa butter as rinse-off conditioner is another great way. Simply mix a small drop with your current conditioner and apply to the ends your hair, avoid roots and scalp. Wash it off after 2-3 minutes. Don’t use a lot of butter as it might make your hair greasy.
Leave-in conditioner: If you are using cocoa butter in any of the above-mentioned steps, then you can skip it here. If not, then here goes. Use a tad bit of melted cocoa butter (you can add a few drops of jojoba oil) and apply to the length of your hair. It will help tame the frizz and add shine.
How to Make Cocoa Butter Hair Conditioner
There are multiple DIY cocoa butter conditioner recipes, here are some easy ones you can try at home:
 Recipe #1: Cocoa butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil
This does wonders to curly and wavy hair by adding volume to the curls.
a. Melt 2 tablespoons each of cocoa butter and coconut oil together.
b. Add jojoba oil and let the mixture cool
c. Whip it for 4-5 minutes once the mixture starts to solidify
d. Apply right away or store for later use
Recipe #2: Cocoa butter, jojoba oil, honey
This is ideal for extremely and unruly dry hair.
a. Melt 6 teaspoons of cocoa butter
b. Add 3 teaspoons each of jojoba oil and honey
c. Leave it for 4-5 mins till the mixture starts to become solid
d. Whip and apply to your hair
Recipe #3: Cocoa butter, coconut oil, beeswax, olive oil
This works as a deep conditioning hair mask and can be applied every week.

Solid Perfumes and Balms Recipe
One of my favourite spell forms is something I can physically wear like a perfume, balm or body butter. Whilst this is not a recipe I favour (I prefer spray on perfumes and liquid oils), its one that has served me well in the past for glamours, anti-anxiety, and a little luck before job interviews.
Apply to your wrists and neck for a perfume, or use to create a creme makeup product such as a blush or bronzer.
Generic Recipe Base:
Always be mindful of irritants like cinnamon when creating balms!
1 tablespoon of oil (jojoaba or any other neutral oil)
1 tablespoon beeswax or emulsifier wax
OR 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or shea butter and 1/2 tablespoon of wax
10-20 drops of essential oils for a perfume (or add until desired scent is achieved), for more subtle scents 3-5 drops
1/2 -1 tablespoon of mica powder or mineral powder to colour
Melt together the wax and oil or simply melt down a dense, solid oil or fat like coconut oil, adding in vitamin E oil and mix well
Stir in essential oil (or oil you have infused with your herbs), add in your mica powder if you wish to colour it
Allow to cool slightly and pour into a slightly heated, wide rimed jar and let sit to solidify completely before sealing it - old lip balm tins, tiny jam jars and balm jars work well to store this
_________
Prosperity and Luck for Job Interviews:
Melt down your liquid oil and wax, and mix well
Stir in 9 drops of prosperity oil (ylang-ylang, lemon, basil and mint) - I like to add things in threes, so three lots of three
Allow to cool and add to a small tin or jar and allow to cool at air temperature
_________
Glamour Creme/Cream Blush
Met together shea butter and wax - more wax will make a thicker, longer lasting blush whilst more aloe will make a smoother, more subtle one
Add in aloe vera and a glamour or love/attraction oil (rose, apple blossom, lavender and jasmine - as this is blush only add 3 drops!) and whisk until smooth, taking it off the heat
Slowly add in mica powders and cocoa powder a tiny pinch at a time until the desired colour is reached
add to a tine or jar and let cool at air temperature
Adapt the recipes as needed for what you have and to your own practice <3
_________
(I will be sharing some of my generic grimoire recipes each Wednesday (hopefully) with the intent on letting people adapt the recipes to suit their needs ... )

Uniqaya Sunscreens For Oily Skin To Protect It From UV Rays
Tumblr media
Oily skin can be a blessing in disguise, but when it comes to tinted sunscreen, it can be a challenge. The wrong choice can leave you feeling greasier than a French fry. Fear not; here's your guide to selecting the ideal sunscreen for oily skin.
1. Look for "Oil-Free" or "Non-Comedogenic" Labels: When shopping for sunscreen, opt for products labeled as "oil-free" or "non-comedogenic." These sunscreens are specially formulated not to clog pores or exacerbate oiliness.
2. Go for a Gel-Based or Water-Based Formula: Gel-based or water-based sunscreens are lightweight and get absorbed quickly. They provide effective protection without adding extra shine to your skin.
3. Choose SPF 30 or Higher: For oily skin, SPF 30 or higher is recommended. It ensures adequate protection without making your skin feel heavy or greasy.
4. Matte Finish: Look for sunscreens that promise a matte finish. These formulations are designed to control excess shine throughout the day.
5. Broad-Spectrum Protection: Always pick a broad-spectrum sunscreen to shield your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. This is crucial for preventing premature aging and sunburn.
6. Consider Tinted Sunscreens: Tinted sunscreens SPF 50 not only offer sun protection but also provide a subtle, even tone, making them perfect for those days when you want to skip foundation.
7. Blotting Papers and Powder: For added shine control, carry blotting papers or a translucent powder in your bag for touch-ups throughout the day.
Choosing the right sunscreen for oily skin doesn't have to be a hassle. With these tips, you can enjoy sun protection without worrying about excess shine. So, go ahead, embrace the sun, and keep that oily skin in check!
