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!

Peppermint for a bit of zing, maybe some ylang ylang for sweetness. But certainly lavender and frank. :)
I'd definitely want to try it with my lavender essential oil, which I've found out is my favorite. I'd like to try it with a citrus one too for a nice refreshing smell.
When my wife makes chapstick she use lavender, chamomile, and geranium.
Lavender, Frankincense and Purification. I love the smell of Purification!
I have made a similar recipient using all natural organic undefined Shea butter. I can't wait to try this recipe and compare the two!!! Thanks for sharing :)
I would love spearmint and tangerines. That is my favorites to diffuse. Makes me happy.
I love peppermint and citrus oils together!
This looks awesome! I can't wait to try it <3
Definitely Ylang Ylang.
This sounds fantastic! I would love to try it with the frankincense for sure! I don't have cedar wood yet so that would have to wait!
