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'm making two batches: one with lavender and cedar wood oils for relaxation, and one with Panaway and Copaiba to soothe muscles!!
This sounds divine! I'm going to try it with Frankincense and Copaiba!
Wow sounds wonderful! I'd use lavender and myrrh with mine.
I like lavender, cedarwood, and gentle baby.
Lavender would be so good to use. Such a good item to slather on after your bath and before bed!
I definitely want to use Frankincense and Ylang Ylang.
Orange, Frank & Cinnamon essential
Oils with pure vanilla...mmmmm!!
Thieves, orange, and peppermint create a wonderful combination for DIY Body Butter!
I will add Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Myrrh and Frankincense with a touch of rose. My skin is very dry and these oils will be just what I need for winter!
