Step 1: Ingredients

Since massage bars are intended to basically become massage oil upon contact, cocoa butter with its melting point of 93.4°F/34.1°C is the ideal base. Below is a super simple recipe. Once you master this, try out some suggestions from Step 4!

Note: Remember not to store near a heating vent or leave in the car too long on warm days or you may have a melty falcon on your hands.

Basic Recipe (Makes one Falcon)

1/3 cup raw cocoa butter
1 Tbs almond oil
1/8 tsp vitamin E oil

Tools

Any saucepan, but preferably one with a spout for minimal pouring issues (I used a small, cast iron butter warmer, which was perfect)
Spoon
Silicone Falcon ice tray (the Han in carbonite would also be fun)
Knife/Cutting board
