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!

Bergamot, orange, lavender. You can't go wrong with any of the Young Living essential oils they are all amazing! Thank you! For sharing this awesome! Recipe.
I love tangerine oil, like to put in lotion.
I love the smell of Cedarwood. I put it on a cotton ball and stash it in my closet keeps saying smelling fresh.
Frankincense and stress away are my favorites
Grapefruit!
Lavender and Frankincense!
I make one with frankincense, lavender, gentle baby, and geranium. I also make one with lavender, lemon, frankincense, and purification to use on my baby too. The toddler brings it to me and will cry if I try to use any cream but this.
Stress away and tangerine smelly yummy together. Can't wait to make this!
I prefer to use shea butter instead of the cocoa butter, I find the scent of the cocoa butter is very over powering. I love to use cedarwood and Evergreen Essence in my body butter, it is AMAZING for the winter months! (Adding a little bees wax helps seal in moisture)
