Ingredients
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 tablespoons warm water
2 teaspoons raw shea butter
1/4 cup honey
3 teaspoons uncooked oatmeal (finely ground)

Did You Know?
The cacao tree — source of cocoa and chocolate — thrives in Africa’s tropical belt. Today, West Africa grows over 70% of the world’s cocoa beans, with Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and Nigeria leading production. Meanwhile, shea butter, long prized for its skin-healing properties, is hand-harvested across the Sahel region. When you use these ingredients, you’re touching centuries of African farming tradition.
Turn It Into a Gift & Romantic Night In
Handmade gifts carry a quiet power — they say “I took the time to make this for you.” Craft a jar of this Shea Butter Chocolate Facial Mask, tie it with ribbon, and pair it with dark chocolate, strawberries, and a bottle of wine. Add candles or a warm bath, and you have a private spa night that feels indulgent and intimate.
Many men secretly appreciate small luxuries but may never buy them for themselves. When you mix, gift, and even help apply this mask, you create connection and care in a way that’s deeply personal — and yes, he’s likely to love you even more for it.
Cocoa farming is a vital livelihood across West Africa, yet its supply chain has faced sustainability challenges. Global companies like Olam International work to source traceable, ethical cocoa, while African farmers innovate to preserve forests and improve incomes. Shea butter, traditionally collected by women’s cooperatives, has become a global beauty staple — supporting rural economies and preserving cultural knowledge of natural skin care.
“If chocolate be the food of love, play on.”
