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 made this using frankincense and mryyh. It's so moisturizing and calming. I love it.
I'll try melrose and lavender.
My favorite oils to add to body creams are Joy with some orange. I've also added just a few drops of Abundance before just for that little extra spicy scent and I love how it smells and what it does for me.
Black pepper, rosemary, and peppermint
I will use peppermint and orange for an uplifting fragrance. I love making creams to share with friends and people who know very little about the power our oils.
I just received this email so of course I am too late to enter the contest. I would like to say that I appreciate the recipes for using my EOs. I love them but have a hard time learning how best to use them. Several friends are saying the same thing. Please send more recipes! Happy New Year!
Can't wait to try. I've always had dry skin
I'll definitely try a couple of different ones. Lavender and lemongrass would be on my list.
I used shea butter I will have to try Cocoa butter.
Did you like this recipe with the Shea Butter? I have Shea on hand and would like to try it if it worked will for you.
I was a fan of lavender now it is frankincense. I love to make sugar scrubs and soaps with frankincense.
Lavender, Cedarwood, and Frankincense are favorites. I also might try gentle baby or geranium.
