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 can't wait to try this!
My son loves Ceadarwood, Lavender, and Peace and Calming.
Jasmine and frankincense
The 15 drops of EO, is that total or of each of 3 oils?
Bergamont, rosemary. Mmmmmm.
I can't wait to try this recipe! I would like to try lavender for night time and tea tree for daytime. Thanks!
I might try neroli and orange for a lighter, more citrusy scent.
What size jars and how many would you recommend if giving as gifts? 2 oz or 4 oz? Thanks in advance!
Would Shea Butter be an acceptable substitution for the cocoa butter?
I'm going to try mango butter. Not always excited to smell the cocoa butter.
I have used shea butter instead of Cocoa butter and it works well!
If I make it I'll add scared mountain with a little peppermint that would add a nice relaxing feel and for others to comment on the scent.
