I was at chocolate tasting masterclass where they make real chocolate from beans to bar. I kindly ask if I could take home a container of the leftover hulls from the beans and they very generously did. The scent of the hull is hypnotic, just like chocolate and it gives you this warm happy boost.
I wanted to create a beauty product that I could you use as a self love ritual for myself whilst being natural and upcycling this beautiful hull from the freshly roasted cacao beans.
*Please note, do not use if you have allergies to any of the below ingredients and always do a test patch before using.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup of cacao hull
20ml sweet almond oil
3 drops neroli essential oil
Method:
Grind the hull in coffee grinder or mortar and pestle until fine.
In a bowl combine hull, sweet almond oil and neroil. Stir sensually until it becomes a runny paste.
Your scrub is ready to use!
I like to use it on both face and body, paying attention to my energy and sending love to myself and skin with every stroke. Taking in the scent of the beautiful cacao and the warm uplifting buzz it gives me.
Tip: You can set a vibe with music before you start working.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Blessed be,
Sensual Chef xx
