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 joy.
Will this work with Shea Butter??
I look forward to trying using whatever speaks to me from my stash plus tea tree.
Love any DIY recipes for skincare, lip balm, etc. please keep them coming. Thank you
Frankensence and Myrrh - what could be a more scentsational gift for winter hands?
I am going to use 7 drops of lavender, 5 of lemon and 2 of Frankincense. I love the smell of lavender and lemon. But frank is so good for supporting the skin so I think adding some of that would be beneficial.
My go to skin regimen is lavender and Frankincense, I'm going to stick with those!
