If you chip the cocoa butter into pieces and store them in your fridge, you can microwave or melt in a bowl on a hot plate for later use. This product is also a very nice and safe way to have some 'intimate' fun with your special love-of-your-life; perhaps asking your physician about its use will enlighten you to possibilities never thought of before ;-) I love this stuff!
Use it as an additive!!!
This product is something I would grate and add to soap, or I would make a slave out of it. LOOK for a recipe that requires pure cocoa butter and you will come out with a fantastic product!
yes it is hard as a rock!
I agree. I can't even put it on. I have to melt it with a hairdryer to use it, so I don't bother
how do you use it?
the jar i received was also hard as a rock. but it smells lovely with the light chocolate smell - i have tried many ways to use it: rubbing it with my palm but got only tiny amount of it, using a knife to carve bits of it out and microwave it (!) and it didnt' melt!; and now i am carving it out in tiny bits and let it melt in my hands before using it. could someone please enlighten us on how to use it when it's rock hard?
Hard as a Rock
The jar I received was hard as a rock. Probably a fluke, but the cost to send it back wasn't worth the trouble. It would be nice to have a complimentary tube from the manufacturer.
This moisturizing cream is the best!
I love this product! It is very soothing to my dry face and hands. I work in the health care field,so I frequently wash my hands. This product absorbs nicely, without leaving a greasy feel behind. It has a wonderfully light and natural scent, and compared to other products that don't even work, it's very reasonably priced. I will continue to buy this product on a regular basis. Thank you!
Wonderful moisturizer--very healing!
After using this creme for only a few days, I find that my skin looks and feels smoother. My mother has been using it on a surgical scar and the results are very promising. Rough patches and irritations are healed in a day or two.
