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 LOVE making my own skin care products and have recently fallen in love with cocoa butter. I love putting lavender and frankincense but also use German chamomile
Lavender!
Would love to try this with Joy
I would use lavender and bergamot.
Definitely will make this and I would use lavender for a bedtime lotion or citrus or peppermint for a morning refresh.
I would do two depending on the time I'm applying it. Morning would be joy, ylang ylang and grapefruit and in the evening lavender and cedarwood! So amazing!
I love orange and frankincense - smells amaxing and feel's amazing!
I love Stress Away and it would smell amazing in a lotion!
My favorite oils to mix with coconut oil in body products are Stress Away and Lime. If the coconut oil is unrefined, this combo has an amazing coconut lime smell that makes me feel like I'm relaxing on the beach!
Wow! What an incredible giveaway! I would love to try those!
