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!

This looks luscious! I can't wait to try it! Super easy too!!!
I will make this using Abundance and Joy. They go well together and is such an uplifting combo!
This sounds great, I can't wait to try it!
I love when orange and ginger are brought together, so I def would make a body butter with those two to apply in the morning after a shower.
Joy, peppermint or wintergreen
Oh this sounds great! I have all the ingredients in my cupboard so I will have to give this a try. I think I'm going to use Gentle Baby essential oil in mine.
This sounds fantastic! I absolutely love Stress Away, so I would make a Stress Away batch with a little bit of Citrus Fresh to remind me of summer when it starts getting cold outside!
