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 think Stress Away as a body butter would be fantastic!
Since Rose is great for skin support...why not add that with a hint of sandlewood...Heaven scent if you ask me!
I want to make one with gentle baby. I love that smell.
Ooh!! Would love to win this!!
I would add geranium, elemi, and patchouli to my body butter to support my skin
Wow! This sounds perfect!
I love the smell of gentle baby and think it would be a great body butter
This will be perfect for my daughter
Looking forward to trying this!
I have used this recipe before to make what I called "lemon soufflé body butter".... just sounds so yummy! Next I plan to add Christmas spirit to make a holiday lotion to get us all in the " spirit"!!!
