Place cocoa butter into a small mixing bowl. Melt it if it will make it easier to work with and add the olive oil. Mix in 5-8 drops of cinnamon essential oil. Remember, lip plumper works by slightly “irritating” the skin. The cinnamon acts as the irritant, which means the more you add, the more potent it will become!
