For years you've been able to buy solid oils like cocoa butter (from the cocoa bean) and shea butter (my personal favourite) from health food stores. They smell delicious and are wonderful on your skin.

Lately I've been seeing refined version of those same oils (which are pure white and have NO smell) and also fake versions full of petrochemicals and other nastys. Be aware when you shop and look only for natural & unrefined products. They are packed with all kinds of naturally occurring phytochemicals which are fabulous for you (and smell better too)!

I use them straight as a lip balm, and on my hands if they are dry. If you want a lighter cream just take a small amount between your two hands and rub them together until it melts, then add a bit of oil (unrefined almond oil works great) and mix them together.

Our friend Deborah in San Diego showed us a great trick. She mixes almond oil with her favourite essential oils in a small bottle. Then when she does the shea/cocoa butter and oil trick it's personally scented just for her! It's the most incredibly wonderful feeling to put this magical cream on, and it's always fresh just for you!!

Happy day!!!
