This homemade cacao butter bath bark is the ultimate Christmas treat — rich, silky, and naturally fragrant thanks to real cacao butter. It’s quick to make, fun to customise, and perfect for gifting. Break it into rustic shards, and place into a glass jar, and you’ve got a beautiful, heartfelt homemade present that tastes as good as it looks.

You could choose to colour your bark, if so, use a teeny bit of mica powder, which you can find at Natural Good Life. Use code ADDITIVEFREE10 for 10% off storewide.
