Directions

In a plastic beaker, mix Hot Cocoa Fragrance Oil with Vanilla Color Stabilizer. Let set for at least 2 minutes.

In large bowl, add soybean oil, mid chain triglycerides liquid, macadamia nut butter, cocoa butter, palm oil and emulsifying wax.

Heat in microwave until wax has completely melted.

To a second microwave-safe measuring cup, add water and heat in microwave for about 1 minute. Slowly pour warmed water into bowl with oil/butter/wax mixture.

With hand mixer or stick blender, begin to blend water/wax mixture.

Continue to mix, scraping sides of bowl with spatula.

Once lotion has thickened, add fragrance mixture, vitamin E and preservative.

Continue to mix. Lotion will become light and airy with mixing.

Remove 8 oz. (1 cup) of lotion and place in separate bowl. To remaining lotion, add Gingerbread Brown and Caramel Brown Butterscotch Mica Powder to color. Mix color in well.

Using a cake decorating piping bag or zip close bag with tip cut off, fill each bottle with colored lotion filling about 3/4 full.

Pipe uncolored lotion on top of lotion in bottle (dividing between 4 bottles).

Cut dip tube to length of bottle and place on top.

Label product accordingly.
