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 start with lavender.
I think Clary Sage would smell wonderful in a batch of body butter.
Love this recipe!
Joy and Orange!!!
Would live frankincense with ylang ylang or Joy. During the holiday season I would use Christmas Spirit, love that smell.
I'm thinking Lavender and Lemon or Orange and Cinnamon!
Cedar wood and lemon
Awesome! For this time of year, I would use Cinnamon Bark, Nutmeg, and Orange. :-) I would love it with Stress Away, also! Thank you for the chance to win!
I love to add peppermint and lavender for body butters! It s soothing and invigorating at the same time!
Love it. I am going to mix this up right away. Love YLEO products. Wouldn't be without them.
