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 can't wait to make this and add my fave oil Stress Away!
I have been using the coconut oil and frankincense mixture for my face. Will have to try this out. Would you use it on your face also with the cocoa butter? And never knew to mix it with a blender. Might have to try the Peppermint Oil with it.
I love to mix together lavender, rosemary, and peppermint, that mixture makes my skin feel amazing.
Ooooh, so many oils to choose from...I guess the same oils I use in my face serum. Lavender, Geranium, Frankincense, Myrrh, Helichrysuml and Bergamot!
YL, You never cease to amaze me with your giving and generosity! Thank you for such an amazing giveaway! I currently use the Sandalwood moisturizer and add a couple drops of Frankincense! I love the body butter recipe and can't wait to try it! Thanks!
I am going to try Frankincense and Cedarwood! Maybe I'll add a little orange also.
I love adding peppermint e.o. for the holidays! Makes a great gift! :) I think I may try stress away too, I bet it would smell wonderful!!
