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 little lemongrass for daytime and cedarwood for nighttime. So nice!
I would love to make this body butter with Sacred Mountain.
Lavender and Lemon!
I will try the lavender and frankincense because they are two of my favorite oils and I have them on hand. I will try stress away next time.
I enjoy making body butter. I have not tried these two ingredients together yet. I will plan on using this recipe!
I would definitely use lavender in body butter
I will be using frankincense and lavender in my lotion to apply on my belly. I loved how smooth my skin felt using this recipe with shea butter instead. This time I'm trying 1/2 cocoa butter and 1/2 shea butter!!!
I love using lavender!!
This recipe sounds great! I am excited to try it with PanAway, Lavender and Peppermint essential oils. Thank you!
Ooo! This sounds fantastic! I'd like to use these, my skin has been feeling particularly dry lately since the cold weather has come and we had to turn the electric heat on in the house again.
