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 love to use lavender ylang ylang & rose thanks I would die to win something like this!
I need to make this!👎 I love lavender but think I'll try the Cedarwood or frankincense!🌱
I love to use Elemi or Frankincense. Orange is so uplifting and fresh, and Lavender is just so soothing in my body butter recipe!
Loving everything I'm learning from YL about how to live healthier and keep my family safer. Would love to win this package to add to my growing collection of YL products!

I have been making a recipe similar to this for a few months now! I use this as my base (unrefined virgin coconut oil, raw cocoa butter, and vitamin E oil), and then I have two versions I keep on hand at all times. One uses YL's lavender and manuka oils for calming and promoting the support of healthy skin. The second version I use YL's frankincense, PanAway, peppermint, and wintergreen. I love them both!
