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!

Lavender and not sure what else since I am a newbie and still learning
Frankincense and geranium would be great choices!
Looking forward to trying it with Lime for a coconut lime butter! Also using peppermint for one, for an after workout massage butter.
Cedarwood
I'd love to make this with StressAway!
The above recipe sounds great.....I would add Orange and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
I love several of the oils so would try different ones over the course of time.
I love the smell of lilacs so will try Inner Child and Jasmine!

I would probably try the lavender or maybe thieves. I love both of those scents so much!
I want to use stress away or royal hawiian sandalwood!!
