| When I looked at the calendar yesterday, I was very surprised to notice that Valentines Day is just barely over a month away! Valentine gifts tend to include roses and chocolates. This year, why not give a gift of chocolate, without the calories? Today, I’ll show you how to make Chocolate Mousse Magnetism. This viscous, simple cream is perfect for an after bath splurge.

Recipe:
Weigh all ingredients except Germaben II and Chocolate Mousse Fragrance Oil into the microwave safe container. Heat in the microwave using short time bursts until everything is melted. Blend the ingredients to a smooth, creamy consistency using the immersion blender. Add Germaben II and Chocolate Mousse Fragrance Oil once the temperature drops below 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Blend until completely mixed. Pour into jars and allow to cool completely. Cap the jars. Notes: This recipe makes approximately 24 fl oz of cream. I filled 12 of the 2 oz Clear PET Low Profile Jars with this recipe and there was just a small amount left over to rub on my hands. Enjoy! Don’t forget to submit your blog or video posts to win the MMS Perfumer’s Kit. Remember, this kit is worth $280! Submissions are due by February 1st for posts during January.

Hi Andee!
First of all I LOVE all the recient lotion recipes! Very neat! I noticed a lot of the lotions and creams you have been making reciently have been using the preservative Germaben II and I wanted to know if any of your recient lotion and creams could be made with an alternative preservative like Germall Plus or Optiphen. I’m striving to keep my products as natural and paraben-free as possible. 🙂
One last thing, should I be sterilizing my containers and lids before adding my lotions and creams? Or is that not necessary when I have a preservative?
You can certainly change the preservative. That is no problem. Just consider the amount needed (0.5% or 1.5%)
To sanitize your jars, just dip in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and allow to dry.
