Be kind to your hard-working skin! This homemade body butter recipe will leave your skin moisturized and soft, thanks to rich cocoa butter and coconut oil. We love its whipped consistency that goes on smoothly and feels light to the touch.
Whipped Body Butter
Ingredients
1 cup organic coconut oil
1 cup organic solid cocoa butter (do not use lotion)
15 drops of your favorite topical/aromatic essential oil (we love Cedarwood, Lavender, and Frankincense essential oils)
Directions
Warm a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, then add coconut oil and cocoa butter. Melt until completely liquefied, about 4–5 minutes.
Pour into a glass mixing bowl and place in refrigerator for 30–45 minutes to cool and just set but not harden.
Stir in essential oils.
Using an electric hand mixer, whip until firm peaks form, about 10 minutes.
Gently transfer to a seal-able jar or container. Store at room temperature to avoid melting or solidifying.
Massage into dry skin!

Thanks for the recipe - great for Christmas presents! I will try stress away and cedarwood.
I am looking forward to using Cedarwood, Frankinsense and possibly some Orange.
Frankincense, lavender, and rosemary
The above recipe sounds awesome. I would also use Orange and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
Lavender Essential Oil is my fav. I'll add that one.
Peppermint! Because it's invigorating and I never get sick of it!
Frankincense and lavender for sure!
I love this. I will try this with Joy essential oil.
Peace and Calming!
Sounds delightful! New to all of the uses of the oils, but learning so much!
