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!

Wow, looks like it easy to make. I would added sandalwood and lemon EO, my favorite.
Tea tree, Lavender and Frankincense
I love to use geranium, lavender, and frankincense in my body care products.
I really love the scents of Melrose, Lavender and Frankincense together! I also think Peace & Calming would be lovely in a body Butter recipe!
I'm in love with the combination of Citrus Fresh and Lavender.
I have lots of combos I love by my all time favorite is Frankincense, Melrose, and Gentle baby. My skin has never been so soft.
YL you all amaze me every day with your generosity, thank you!
I would love a peppermint & Lavender body butter!
I will put patchouli and grapefruit!! Such a great combo!
I think I will be making jars of this for Christmas presents! Thanks for the idea and recipe, sounds delightful!!!
The possibilities are endless. I will probably have Frankincense, Lavender, and Tea Tree. Maybe Stress Away and Release. Or Cedarwood and Valor II. I will make one of each of these. Put a jar in both bathrooms and my bedroom.
