Homemade Body Butter Recipe

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

  1. Warm a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, then add coconut oil and cocoa butter. Melt until completely liquefied, about 4–5 minutes.
  2. Pour into a glass mixing bowl and place in refrigerator for 30–45 minutes to cool and just set but not harden.
  3. Stir in essential oils.
  4. Using an electric hand mixer, whip until firm peaks form, about 10 minutes.
  5. Gently transfer to a seal-able jar or container. Store at room temperature to avoid melting or solidifying.
  6. Massage into dry skin!

  • I can't wait to try this recipe out! I LOVE my YL oils! I would LOVE to win free products too!

  • My favorite EO combo for a body Butter concoction would be frank, copaiba and lavender! I hope I win!

  • I use patchouli, tangerine and ylang yland in my body butter. If I am really dry, I also put in a teaspoon of vitamin E. If i don't have the aforementioned single oils I just dump in some YL peace and calming. I think it's fine to be a little heavy handed with this delicious blend.

  • Oh, how I need this. Made similar at a DIY party one time, but used it all. Can't wait to try this simple recipe!! Thanks for sharing it!
