Chocolate Cherry Moisturizing Body Gel


-Slightly modified.  Remember to use high quality organic ingredients.

Makes 3-4 cups
  • 1 cup purified water
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup vegetable glycerine
  • 1 cup raw honey
  • 3 Tablespoons cherry juice
  • 3 Tablespoons organic lavender floral water
  • 3 Tablespoons organic vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients in a large microwave safe bowl or measuring cup. Microwave the ingredients for 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to give a few stirs. Your final product should be a translucent, fragrant, and lightly moisturizing gel. If the gel becomes too thick, add a few teaspoons of water until the desired consistency is achieved. Store in covered container in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To Use: Thoroughly work into clean, dry skin. Allow to dry completely before dressing. *Try adding a few tablespoons of aloe Vera gel to create a creamy, after sun skin soother.
