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!

Planning on using a combo of cedarwood, frankincense and orange for my husband.
Oh, I would have to throw in my favorite oil - lavender. I don't do anything without my lavender. Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck to all who enter.
I'm planning on making some with cedarwood along with something I haven't decided on yet as,a gift for my husband. I'm leaning towards using orange and frankincense.
I would use a combination of Frankincense and lavendel in the body butter
Oh my this would be a great way for me to try this awesome body butter with those 3 oils that I don't own! I am loving Young Living Essential Oils and have been very blessed to have some great friends from church who have been eduacating me on their phenominal results using the oils! Life changing!
I would use lemon and orange for a citrusy smell
I'm going to try Lavender and Frankincense or man be Geranium and Frankincense!
I have been making this for awhile now & love it! I started experimenting for my African American sons skin which needs lots of good moisturizing. Soon we were all using it. I use lavender for my son, gentle baby for my little girls and my current favorite for me is Geranium.
I would use gentle baby, frank and melorse.
Oh my goodness gracious I would DIE if I won this! I am fairly new to my oils and am so hooked. I would absolutely use frankincense, or lavender. Maybe even both! Frank has totally changed my skin in the month I've been using it topically. I've never seen anything work this well on my skin and I would love love love to try some more wonderful skin care products!
