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 would put in lavender. I can't wait to try this recipe!
I would definitely use lavender, that is my go to. But I would like to experiment with other scents too, maybe a cedarwood and peppermint for my guys.
My favorite oil....stress away!!!
This looks like a great recipe to try for the holidays!
I love to use geranium and lavender in my body butter.
I like to add lavender, frankincense and gentle baby to my body butter.
Frankincense, Orange
or nutmeg with orange!
Definitely going to try frankincense, geranium and lavender!
Oh I use a hand-whipped blend just like this! I added Arrowroot powder. My essential oils that are in it currently are Gentle Baby and Lavender.
I'd use frankincense and tea tree initially, but would likely explore further with stress away, lavender, cypress, cedarwood and sandalwood!
