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!

I will make mine with Inspiration. I love it as a perfume.
The citrus oils are so refreshing. I will try orange, lemon, lime, frankensence.
Im going to try lime and then a lavender one.
I LIKE GENTLE BABY AND JOY IN MY BODY BUTTER
Definitely would use Valor or Valor II, Frankincense, Elemi!! I like to add Sage or Hinoki sometimes, too!
I would use lavender, lemon and copaiba.
I would use Awaken, Peppermint and Orange for a refreshing, eye opener! Add it to your morning routine and see how fresh and alert you feel!
I would love to try joy and use the body butter in the morning to start my day - joyful! :) thanks for sharing the recipe!
Lavender and Cedarwood! Just thinking about that combo makes me calm.
