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 be making one with Lavender and one with Lemon Myrtle and Joy!
Awesome recipe! I'm thinking Christmas gifts! Thank you for sharing!
I will try Joy & Bergamot!
My husband and I absolutely LOVE Frankincense so we will definitely make a batch with that oil..... We'll probably try several batches.... so a "focus blend" batch of vetiver, cedarwood, peppermint, and lavender sounds ahh-mazing!!
How about frank and myrrh
I think I would try Peppermint and Wintergreen. It would be invigorating.
Oooo maybe a stress away sounds great!
Love, love, love body butter! And mostly Cedarwood, Lavender and Frankensence!
I'd probably do lavender and valor. I love me some valor!
