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 would probably choose White Angelica.
Or Stress Away. My favorites :)
geranium, ylang ylang and blue cypress
We would add lemon and frankincense!
I just learned about you & am so excited to learn about & start using essential oils! I like your recipe; I might try Frankincense, lavender & vetiver! That might change as I learn more! Two of your distributors did a class last night at church; watched the video "Ancient Secrets of Essential Oils"; amazing teaching! Then they shared their knowledge & gave out prizes; I won a steel roller ball top vial full of lavender & veviter she named "Sleepytime"; I'm loving it, & plan to purchase a starter kit as soon as finances allow!
Can't wait to try this...sounds very soothing.
I would like Helichrysum Frankincense and Lavender.
Would try this with Northern Lights Black Spruce and Forgiveness - how divine.
Stress Away or Abundance with Lavender or also with Winter months Coming up Thieves and Cinnamon smell amazing together.
Oh I am definitely trying this with some stress away and maybe another with peppermint! I love the cooling feeling from peppermint- would probably be great in the morning!
