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 will make some for my kids with lavender, cedarwood, and peace and calming, and some for myself with lavender, grapefruit or frankincense. Might even make some for my husband with mister or Idaho or cedarwood...
Definitely need to make some up! This will be a good stocking stuffer!
I wil put peppermint essential oil. The smell is refreshing & makes me feel really fresh & rejuvenated. Hope I can win. Thanks for the lovely giveaway! :)
I would try Melrose and Frankincense. I love this blend already. This would be amazing as a body butter.
I love either orange or lemon to my body butter.
This is really easy....I think I know what people are getting for Christmas!
I would add lemon, with a bit of bergamot
I love using lavender for a calming feel!
Lavender or something citrusy!
How do you store the DIY body butter after? How does the shave cream work?
