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!

my hubby loves Joy or Ylang Ylang as my perfume and so do I so I'm thinking one small batch with one of those and another with my favorite nighttime heaven blend of Cedarwood, Lavender and Orange yum!! I cannot wait seriously!
I have been seeing recipes for body butter, and this one looks divine! I have all of the oils needed for this, so this is definitely something I'm going to try. Would make a nice gift as well!
I would add Joy Oil and Orange Oil! I use Joy everyday and would love the added benefit of moisturizing my dry winter skin AND having is smell like my favorite oils :)
I love making my own body butter!! In use Sgea Butter instead of coco butter and add 10 drops each Lavender and Melrose
Love Sacred Mountain, Joy, Stress Away, Believe, & Pesce& Calming II. I think I may need to make more than one batch!!
I can't wait to try this recipe! I love the smell of Purification so I would try this in my batch of body butter.
I have been diffusing with these 3 oils and they are very comforting. Looking forward to trying this body butter and possibly making for Christmas gifts.
Thanks
I would use orange and lemon oils to brighten up winter days!
These 3 oils would smell heavenly together. Can this be used with Shea Butter?
