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 would love to win so I could try the skincare package! It sounds amazing!
I would use lavender and Cedarwood
This would make a great make and take class. I love using My Young Living oils in homemade body care products
I would do a combination of Frankincense, Tea Tree, and Ylang Ylang, maybe with some Copaiba too!
OMG I would love to win this.... I love them ALL :-)
Can't wait to whip some up!!!
Going to try this recipe
I would add Lavender, Frankincense and Patchouli for nourishing skin, or Clary sage, lavender, lemongrass and ylang ylang for a calming, relaxing experience.
Citrus Fresh and Joy is one of my favorite yummy combos but I'd also like Lavender, Lemon and Frankincense. Eucalyptus mint is a great combo for winter!
I used gentle baby, geranium, grapefruit, and frankincense in my last body butter and it's fantastic!
