Velvety Peppermint Shea Bliss (DIY Skincare Kit)

The Velvety Peppermint Shea Bliss Kit is the only kit in the Baraka range that includes a therapeutic essential oil as part of the kit itself — no extra purchase required. Raw unrefined shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) and raw unrefined cocoa butter (Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter) from Ghanaian women’s cooperatives are combined in equal parts and whipped into a cloud-like body butter, then elevated with 10ml of premium steam-distilled peppermint essential oil (Mentha Piperita Oil). The menthol in peppermint oil is both cooling and analgesic — it delivers a genuine tingling, numbing sensation on tired feet and sore muscles that no amount of extra shea butter can replicate. The shea provides deep penetrating moisture and anti-inflammatory cinnamic acid. The cocoa butter adds antioxidant polyphenols, skin elasticity support, and the firmness that gives the whipped texture its velvety structure. Together they create a luxurious therapeutic body butter that nourishes, soothes, and invigorates — and customers control the intensity from subtle (10 drops) to spa-level bold (30 drops).

The 50g kit yields approximately 100g of finished body butter — enough for 4–6 weeks of targeted use. Applied with firm circular massage to tired feet or sore muscles after a warm bath, the cooling sensation is immediate and lasts several minutes. For general daily use, applied to slightly damp skin after showering, it delivers lasting moisture with a refreshing sensory lift. For customers new to peppermint oil on skin, always recommend a patch test first — menthol can be intense on sensitive areas. Not recommended for children under 6 or near the eye area.

The Velvety Peppermint Shea Bliss Kit has a genuinely unique retail proposition: it is the only kit in the natural butter category that delivers a therapeutic sensory experience — real cooling, real muscle comfort — from an included essential oil, not just moisturising butters. This opens buyer segments that the other kits cannot reach: the sport and active recovery shopper, the foot care buyer, the spa gift buyer, and the “energising morning routine” skincare consumer. The included peppermint oil also removes the friction of a separate essential oil purchase, making this the lowest-effort complete-experience kit in the range. Available in 50g (5 units/case) and 100g (4 units/case), it cross-sells naturally with the individual shea and cocoa butter SKUs and with the Kombo Muscle Balm Kit for the therapeutic wellness buyer.
