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 just received cedarwood. I thought making a cream for my husband to put on would be perfect. Thanks young living!
Sounds like a great recipe 😉
I would use lavender and Frankincense.
I like to use coconut oil and grapeseed oil with frankincense, myrrh, and hyssop for supporting my skin. I love using Young Living essential oils and products!
I would add oils Purification and Frankincense.
This looks like a simple recipe, compared to the one I used for a make and take party I hosted. I think I'll make a batch for my husband using the Bergamot I recently received!
I would like to try lavender and peppermint.
I made my home body cream with organic coconut oil, shea butter. I blended both with a wooden spoon without any heat and then added my favourite skin oils. These are:
Patchouli, lavender, frankincense, jasmine, geranium, ylang ylang and cederwood.
It now by body and hand cream. Thks for the sharing on this blog.
Thanks for the recipe.
Loving this recipe, quick, easy, and awesome! My two favorite : patchouli & bergamot and patchouli & frankincense!
Can't wIt to make this , i will probably use lavender and stress away combo.. my faves💕
This is a simple & fantastic recipe! What brand of cocoa butter do you recommend?
I would definetly do a frank and orange body butter as i love to put lotion on during my nightly routine before bed!!
I would love to try this combination.
Sacred frankincense, lavender, and chamomile would be my choice
Stress Away would be amazing in this - the scent is lovely
I would use a combination of Patchouli and Orange, my two favorite oils together.
I want to try it with Helichrysum.
Love body butters! I want to make this with Frankinsence and geranium or a batch with Jasmine. Talk about making you skin smell great!
I love "Essential Beauty Serum" for my face. I would put it in body butter also! Smells great
I would use Egyptian Gold because my wife and daughter loves the smell.
