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!

We love to make body butter with lavender, frankincense and peace and calming! Our fav!
I love DIY projects. I'm loving the combination of Lime and Bergamot and the coconut oil and butters will add a slightly sweet aroma.
I think I will try Grapefruit, Joy and Bergamot :) it smells so yummy
My batch of body butter would contain Myrrh, Tea Tree, Frankincense & a drop or two of Essential Beauty Serum
Lavender and rosemary
Of course, lavender! Probably peace and calming, joy, and geranium
