- Balms & Lip Care: Add 5-99% to balms or lip products for an ultra-nourishing and protective layer that soothes dry lips.
How to Make a Chamomile-Infused Cocoa Butter:
Create a soothing, dual-benefit formulation by infusing dried chamomile flowers into naturally deodorized cocoa butter:
Melt the cocoa butter using a double boiler.
Add dried chamomile flowers and let them infuse on low heat for 1-2 hours.
Strain the flowers, and use the infused butter in creams, lotions, or balms to provide the calming effects of chamomile along with the deep moisturization of cocoa butter.
