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 love using Frank, Patchouli and Cedarwood
I'd love to try Lavender and Frankincense!
I would love to make a blend that would be great for my sons dry but sensitive skin. I have used elemi and lavender on his bottom and think it may be a wonderful mix to add for the rest of his body, especially legs and arms.
I would add Helichrysum, myrrh and Frankincense for my skin!
I am looking forward to trying this with geranium and rose.
I would so love to win this package. Let the odds be in my favor :-)
I'll add Gentle Baby, Joy, Elemi & Geranium.
This is a fantastic giveaway.
I love citrus and earthy, such as orange & frankincense.
Praying for good luck.
I am new to the oils, but I think I would use Lavendar or Joy
I love frankincense, lavender and melrose! My recipe is a bit more complicated. I'm going to try this!
