Ingredients

1 cup cacao butter, grated
1 cup beeswax, grated or in pastilles
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil (optional)
20 drops of a skin-friendly essential oil (optional -- I used cypress essential oil)

Directions

Begin by grating the cacao butter and beeswax. Grate first, then measure into a 1-cup dry ingredient measuring cup.
Press the Keep Warm button on the Instant Pot.
Next, add grated cacao butter, grated beeswax, and olive oil to the Instant Pot.
In 12 to 13 minutes, its all melted!
Transfer the melted oil/wax mixture to a glass cup with a pouring spout.
Whisk in Vitamin E oil, if using.
Then quickly whisk in 20 drops of essential oils, if using. (I used cypress, and its scent pairs beautifully with the chocolate-smelling cacao butter!)
Pour into molds or a muffin tin.
Set aside to harden or place into the fridge to speed up the hardening time.
Pop out of the molds.
Finally, wrap in parchment and tie with twine to give as a gift, or store in an airtight container.
