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 try it with lavender!
I think I will try Frankincense with some cinnamon, clove and orange for gifts this holiday season.

I think lavender and peppermint could be really nice :)
Probably one of the fall blends yall just posted on the blog. I dont have cocoa butter, so I will try shea butter instead.
I would use Citrus Fresh, Tangerine and Lemon. Those three jump start me for the day!
Lavender and Cedarwood sound great for a nighttime lotion!
I think Joy plus Orange would make a wonderful spring/summer body butter!! I like what YL has chosen (Lavender, Cedarwood, and Frankincense) for the smell and added benefits! I hope to create a winter smell (maybe put Christmas Spirit in or some other combination)! These would make wonderful Christmas gifts!! Thanks for the recipe!
I would add stress away and nutmeg! Then I'd go enjoy the beautiful Fall weather,mmm!!!
