DIY Nourishing Body Massage Pods: Luxurious Cocoa Butter Balm Recipe

These pod-shaped body balms deliver a soothing massage for body and hands. Packed with cocoa butter, they hydrate deeply without greasiness.

Makes 6 pods (10g each)

In a bain-marie-safe container, combine 48g cocoa butter, 9g apricot kernel oil, and 3g beeswax. Heat gently until fully melted. Remove from heat, stir, then add ½ tsp cornstarch and 5 drops geranium essential oil.

Mix promptly for a smooth, lump-free texture. Pour into ice cube molds and let harden. Store airtight. One pod suffices per use.
