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!

Ylang ylang and lavender or perhaps Sensation or Surrender. I'd like a body butter with and extra kick of romance :)
I tried Orange and Peppermint in my body butter! Smells amazing and slightly invigorating!
Body butters are a great way to also share your oils. You can make a combo to support healthy body systems, or as a dilution vehicle if you have sensitive skin or for kids.
Ylang Ylang and Lemongrass.
Trying with lavender for sure !
This sounds heavenly! I am going to try jasmine, gentle baby & frankincense! ♡
I would put what I diffuse every night -- Peace and Calming, Cedarwood, Northern Black Spruce and Idaho Blue Spruce. It relaxes and makes me more aware at the same time.
Oh my!
The are my absolute favorites! 💚
I'd love to make a body butter.

Frankincense and Clary Sage are lovely together.
