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 orange!
I've never made body butter but would love to try it. I'd use stress away and lavender. Anxious to try it.
I will try Abundance Essential Oil in my Body Butter.
Ylang Ylang for a wonderful smell :)
Frankincense
This exact recipe sounds amazing!!!
Lavender, Frankincense and Melrose! I'm sure Bergamot would be great too - it smells great!
Lavender, Frankincense and Melrose! I've never tried with Bergamot but I bet it would smell great!!
I make a body butter with Lavender, Frankincense and Melrose. I think Bergamot would be a good choice too, maybe next time :)
I can't wait to make this! It seems super luxurious. I would use Ylang Ylang and Orange. Yummy!
