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 add Release!!! It is so soothing and makes me feel good.
I would use Lavender and Cedarwood....help with sleep and get soft skin at the same time!
I love Cinnamon bark and orange body butter in the fall. I also love cedarwood and lavender as a calling butter before sleep. Yes!!
I would make this with LIVE YOUR PASSION! =)
I'm thinking either Myrrh or Jade Lemon. Winter is approaching in MI so I wouldn't have to worry about photosensitivity as much. Lol. Sad but true
I'll use my favorites; Lavender and Cedarwood!!
I think I would try Joy! Need lots of that one.
In my body butter, I love melrose, myrrh, and lemon myrtle.
I will try this one with frankincense and ylang ylang! I live DIY's!
orange and stress away and maybe a touch of lavender. :)
