Simple ointment150ml infused oil
60 grams cocoa butter
for a stronger perfume add some essential oil in place of some the infused oil.
Put an oven tray on the cooker and boil some water in it. Put the cocoa butter into 1 bowl and oil into another then place the bowls in the water. Once the cocoa butter has melted, combine the 2 stirring with a metal spoon. Pour into clean jars and leave to set in a cold place.
I made some last night and had to redo it this evening as I misread the 150ml for 15!  1 batch had rose petal infused oil with lavender essential oil the other was rose and ylang ylang. It can be used as a general moisturiser/lip balm. I've also made it with peppermint for a foot cream but anything of your choice would work.
