Can I use Pure Organic Raw Cacao Powder instead of cocoa powder? Thank you so much for sharing I can’t wait to make this and use it :)!
Yes, raw cacao will work great too!
I love, love, love this!!!! The cocoa gives a “glow” that looks fabulous! Not greasy and smells absolutely delicious! This is my favorite body butter. I haven’t had any issues white stains but don’t wear a lot of pale colors or white in the winter.

You could sub EVOO for vitamin E for a really simple edible body butter…say, for Valentine’s Day. 😉
Just make sure all your oils are food-grade, maybe add some honey/sweetener.
why do you recommend not eating it? I want to make one I can eat. Is it because there is no sweetener added? I’m just curious why you say its edible, but them recommend to not eat it…
What quantity does this make? This sounds lovely. Thank you.
I have recently started a website, the info you provide on this web site has helped me tremendously.
Thanks for all of your time & work.
I made this. While it does make your skin soft it does leave a stain from the cocoa, and I can’t get pass the smell of the Shea butter.

I didn’t see anything about Shea butter.
I want to make differnt flavors of edible body butters..what do u recommend i use for the flavoring? Oil or water based? Which would be better and where to buy them from?
Can you use cocoa butter lotion???? I’ve done coconut oil and shea lotion, it came out well just really thin that’s all.
This sounds so yummy. Gotta love skin care so clean you could eat it!
Does it matter if I use cocoa butter organic skin cream? As I’ve tried melting it & it doesn’t seem to want to melt. Thanks.
Skin cream is not the same as cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is solid at room temperature, and melts immediately.
But…why?!
why what?
How long will this last setting out? Does it need to be regrigerated?
This body butter can be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months.
does it turn your skin brown when you use it?? i’ve made the cacao mint whipped body butter and i smelled like a peppermint patty!
no, it will not turn your skin brown. 😛
