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 sounds perfect for my son. I will add lavender and frankincense! I will also make a second batch for myself and put in gentle baby, maybe cypress or geranium!
This recipe sounds so simple and luxurious.
For a nice Christmas lotion, I am going to try peppermint oil!
I love this combo!!
I'm currently in love with White Angelica...and Frankincense with Lavender!
Lavender!!
I love Frankincense, Lavender, and Geranium in my body butter!!
I will be making this asap! Just got my butter and was looking for a recipe!
I would try Rose, Rosewood, or Geranium for my first recipe.
Lavender is my go-to! I also use Citrus oils (lemon, orange, and grapefruit) in the summertime.
