Kombo Butter Muscle Balm
The Kombo Tree is a natural shade tree in Ghana’s Cocoa Forests. The butter, made from the seed/nut in the centre of the fruit, has been used traditionally for pain relief for joints and muscles and to relieve pain accelerate healing of burns and skin wounds.
Kombo Butter Muscle Balm uses 100% natural hand-crafted ingredients, combining the benefits of Kombo Butter, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter, along with Ginger Powder and Pepper Powder. Peppermint or other essential oils can be added as well.
It is simple and easy to make.
HOW TO MAKE OUR KOMBO BUTTER MUSCLE BALM
DIRECTIONS
- Combine Kombo Butter, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter and Coconut Oil in a double boiler and heat until just melted.
- Add in the Pepper, Ginger Powder and Peppermint Oil (optional) whisk or stir well to mix.
- Set aside to cool and begin to solidify (you can put in the refrigerator to accelerate the cooling). Be careful to not let it full solidify or it will be harder to whip.
- Take a hand mixer or mixer stand and whip it until it reaches the desired consistency. Keep in mind that it will get ‘stiffer’ and less fluffy as it sits and cools.
- Put into containers.
Hint: We find it easiest to scoop it into a plastic bag and then tie the top of the bag, cut out a corner and squeeze/pipe it into containers. But, some prefer to just scoop it directly into the containers
The finished product is an incredible moisturizing body butter and skin rejuvenator. But, many use it almost exclusively to apply to sore and aching muscles and joints (especially hands and shoulders) or to burns. Law and regulation prevent us from making any claims but you can check the Kombo Butter Reviews to see what others have to say about it.
