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!

There are so many more oils I want to try. It is hard to wait on being able to afford the next one or two.
I love putting Grounding oil in my lotions, my absolute favorite scent.
I love nutmeg, clove & orange in my body butter. Super great to support circulation and uplifting of my mood.
my absolute favorite to put in body butter is frankincense and myrrh! soft and fabulous smelling :)
I will use lavender and frankincense.
I love Geranium and Orange so I'll try those in my body butter!! :)
Ok... it may seem odd... but one of my FAVORITES is Peace & Calming...I LOVE everything about it & feel it needs no help in it's fragrance, nor in the experience of feeling wonderful... the therapeutic value alone of P&C is well worth using alone, all15 drops... but for extra fun & flare I would add or interchange depending on season & mood... a drop or 2 of lemon, especially in the warmer months for its marvelous brightness & fresh aroma... 2 drops of Cinnamon bark, for its delicious sweetness, which, for many, especially around the Winter Season helps maintain a feeling of happiness & well-being, and in any & every season... if you need even more sensation of relaxation... a drop or two of our go-to, Lavender for support!
I love the idea of the body butter recipe... and will get some cocoa butter next errand I make to whip up this recipe asap! Thanks so much for all of YLEO's AWESOME suggestions, recipes, and helps! Please keep them coming!
Many blessings in 2017,

I love body Butter especially when made with Essential Oils from Young Living. My favorite is Frankincense and Myrrh. Yummy!
Frankincense which is wonderful. Inner Child and Peace and Calming are also great choices.
