3Note: Queen Helene has two cocoa Butter cremes in the same jars but one has a butter feel and is a rewal cocoa butter. The other one is whiteish/yellow and is like a very thick lotion. For this recipe you want the lotiony one. You will have to open the jar to tell which you have. Sometimes they are beside each other sometimes they are mixxed together. If you get the wrong one Look through my recipes I have uses for that one also.

Known for its ability to lock in moisture, leaving your skin feeling more supple and smooth, and it does not leave a greasy feeling.The benefits of grapeseed oil is its ability to be easily absorbed into the skin, instead of sitting on top of the skin. This helps fight free radicals and stop some of the enzymes that destroy collagen, elastin and other connective tissue. As it is a natural oil, it will inhibit problems such as fine lines and wrinkles, caused by the loss of collagen and elastin.
