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!

Cedarwood!
Combine Stress Away & Bergamot for a delightful Juicy Fruit fragrance.
The combo that makes my day and I love it in the body butter is Joy, Abundance, Believe and Lavender. People I am telling you it is GORGEOUS!!
I would add something soothing, like lavender or cedarwood. One Oof my favorites is Idaho Balsam Fir, so I may add that!
Just love my Christmas Spirit, bergamot and peppermint body cream. So joyful!
I love Thieves, so would probably do Thieves with a drop or two of Clove for winter and Lemon with a hint of Peppermint for spring and summer.
Frankincense, Lavender and Stress Away!
I love this recipe. I want to try stressaway, lavender and helichrysum first. I love the smell of stressaway
