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 would use lavender and tea tree oil.
I made some with Christmas Spirit and Bergamot. Wonderful scent
I'm gonna try patchulli. I just love it!!! Gonna add some orange and lavender also!!!
I will use something super supportive of skin like melrose or elemi, then add orange or tangerine for for an awesome, uplifting scent! (My hubby will use it also if it has a citrus scent!) :-)
I will try Manuka and Geranium Essential oils in my body butter. 🌱
I can't wait to make this with my new oils.
Rosemary and peppermint!
Stress away lavender and rose
Lavender, Frankincense, cederwood all my top favorite oils. ❣️💕
I love 4 drops Tangerine, 24 drops Vanilla EO, 4 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Ginger EO mix with 4 oz each of unrefined coconut oil, cocoa butter & Shaw butter.
