Cocoa Shea Dry-Area Body Balm

Why this balm fits dry body areas

Cocoa butter and shea butter create a richer balm texture, while jojoba oil helps the blend glide instead of dragging. Use it only on small dry body areas such as heels, elbows or knees. It is intentionally too rich for the face.

Recipe ingredients

• 1 teaspoon cocoa butter
• 1 teaspoon shea butter
• ½ teaspoon jojoba oil

How to make it

1. Melt cocoa butter and shea butter gently in a heat-safe bowl over warm water.
2. Remove from heat and stir in jojoba oil.
3. Pour into a tiny clean jar and let it set.
4. Use a pea-size amount on dry body areas after showering.

How often to use

Use a tiny amount at night as needed. Wear socks if using on heels so the balm stays on the skin and not on the floor.

Safety notes

• Body only; avoid face, neck, broken skin and irritated skin.
• Patch test first.
• Oils and butters can make floors slippery.

Quick Checklist

• Use a tiny amount.
• Best for heels, elbows and knees.
• Apply after bathing or before bed.
• Keep the jar clean and dry.
