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!

Ylang ylang and orange would be good!
I love peppermint and grapefruit!
I love Frankincense, Lavender, Peppermint and Parchouli. So I may tweak it and add a couple of oils together to see which scent I like, as those oils have great benefits overall. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am making this with Joy and frankincense! It feels and smells great! Love it on my gardening hands and dry heels. Thank you!
Thanks for a great recipe! I cant wait to try! I will be using one of my favorite oil blends-Joy!
Joy, abundance and Lemon would be the 3 oils I use. This blend would be my morning go to . I already use the orthosport so this would be an easy one to replace that. I will use the orthosport on my back and the body butter everywhere else
I am going to make it with Stress Away and Joy, my 2 favs.
I MADE THIS TONIGHT USING JASMINE AND YLANG YLANG...IT SMELLED HEAVENLY
