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!

Frankincense, jasmin and lavender
I love Geranium and Frankincense in my moisturiser and I will try them in this body butter as soon as I can get some cocoa butter. Also I've been using some oregano in my face cream
Frankincense, Manuka, Geranium
Love this I just made some body butter with frankincense, ylang ylang, & orange it smells amazing
Lavender & a touch of ylang ylang.
I'm going to try lavender for sure.
I would add Melrose or Geranium. I'm definitely going to make this! Thanks!
Would like to add Christmas Spirit for the holidays.
Frankenscie! I love this oil!
I would use geranium oil and lavender or ylang ylang . I love my body butter to smell feminine, mildly floral and lingering, that people ask what it is that you have on.
