Ingredients

* 3oz/85g Shea Butter
* 1tsp/5g Olive Oil
* 1tbs/15g Creamed Coconut
* 1tbs/15g Dessicated Coconut
* 1tbs/15g Honey
* 7g fresh banana

Put the ingredients into a saucepan, and melt slowly.

Allow to cool a little then add a few drops essential oils if you wish. I added Clarey Sage, just to compliment the lovely coconut aroma.

I poured my mixture into an ice cube tray - and put them in the fridge overnight.

Keep these away from children - they really smell like coconut sweets.

And they look like them.

I had quite forgotten how wonderful it is to bathe - having a tiny en-suite in our bedroom we always have a shower.

But tonight I had to try these out - 2 in the bath to melt under running water. I never knew that coconut would melt I had visions of lumps of white dessicated coconut sticking to me and the bath - but as if by magic it disappears completely.

I feel great - my skin is so soft - and these were so easy to make.

A definite for Christmas and Birthday presents.

Enjoy
