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!

Can't wait to try this recipe!
I made some for Holiday gifts last year and used Frankincense, Myrrh, Lemongrass, Cedarwood, and Orange,
The recipients loved it and I continue to receive requests to make them more!
I would use frankincense, myrrh and Rose. I know riser is expensive but I think we're are worth it. I may drop a little geranium in as well. That is my favorite by far!
I have been wanting to make a lotion with Peace and Calming so that I can apply after my shower, before bed and inhale that all night long.
Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe! I am going to make it later today and can't wait! Those 3 oils are incredible ones and couldn't think of better ones to make it with!
Frankincense, geranium, and rose would be amazing! :)
Lavender & Citrus Fresh!
Definitly Bergamot!! Love that sent.
