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 going to make this at our Essential Oils small group, plan to use Geranium.
I love to use peppermint and lavender. My 2 kids like Theives in their lotion.
Rose Essential Oil would be wonderful.
I would like to try Lemon and Peppermint for a fresh clean scented lotion!
Rose!
This recipe sounds so luxurious.
Lavender, tea tree and peppermint were what I used the last time I made body butter.
I would try stress away or a lavendar / cedarwood combination.
I would put a little Peppermint in my body butter. I bet it would smell amazing!
I plan on using Cedarwood , Lavender & Frankincense for my daughter and I .
I also plan on doing one using Panaway, peppermint & Copaiba.
