Palmer's Coco Butter Lotion Recipe

[pjfan74]

I am in search of a recipe to clone or come close to Palmer's Coco Butter Lotion...has anyone come across a recipe for this or have one that you wouldn't mind sharing?

I can't really answer this question, but I love the smell of Palmer's. I recently bought a 5lb block of organiz cocoa butter from Essentials Depot and it smells DIVINE! I can't wait for the weekend to roll around so I can make some lotion bars with it! Those are really easy to do. Use equal parts cocoa butter, beeswax, and an oil, I like coconut oil, melt, mold, and pop in the freezer for a while. Once they are firm, pop them out of the mold and rub it between your hands, and viola!

I'm not familiar with their lotion, do you happen to have an ingredient list?

Lizflowers42, I love the smell and consistency of Palmers and have used it for years! Making my own soaps and lotions now I feel like I should make this because I feel guilty every time I buy it! But I can't give it up...at least not until I can duplicate it!

It looks like a basic lotion recipe using cocoa butter and palm oil, except for the petroleum & mineral oil.
The hardest part is probably going to be figuring out the right fragrance.

I would just use unrefined cocoa butter and let it smell like chocolate myself. Sayin'
