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!

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for posting this! I am making linen spray, feet spray, and room spray for xmas gifts this year. So excited! I was wondering how to get these awesome scents into a lotion. SO EXCITED for this recipe! We diffuse cedarwood and peace/calming every night in my son's room. He sleeps through the night and wakes up super happy!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
My body butter will have Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, & Cedarwood oils. A nice, warm, earthy butter!!!
I would add gentle baby. I love the smell!
Wow! I love the simplicity and ease of this recipe...Thank you! I'm going to try it with my favorite blend of Lavender, Cedarwood, and Vetiver for soothing support <3
Orange with Lavender. And maybe a few drops of Frankincense. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will make a few different batches of this. One batch for my 18 month old daughter and I will use Gentle Baby for that one. The 2nd batch will be for me and my husband and I will use Lavender & Frankincense. I also might make a 3rd batch using Joy Essential Oil because it smells so good!
HI I would use lavender and peppermint essential oils for my recipe, soothing and refreshing. You're recipe sounds nice, I love using essential oils, they're so invigorating.
I like to use stress away and orange it smells wonderful together and when you mix it all together it smells wonderful on your skin and it also has an uplifting aroma.
