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!

Looks great. I'd add lavender, tea tree and a little frankincense
I am going to use Frankincense, Lavender and Lemongrass in my Body Butter. Just got them in the mail the other day!
Thank-you for the contest and recipe. I would use Bergamot and Geranium for my first body butter.

Lime....in da 🌴 coconut!
This is a great recipe to be used daily and with lavender and frank, smells so good! I usually add Melrose also. Thanks for the recipe!
I love frankincense, myrrh, orange, lavender and copiaba. I made this blend for my Dad who is in assistance living. He loves it, and so do I.
I made some hard lotion bars. But I needed MORE cedarwood added to it! NExt time! What a great gift.
I will try wintergreen and peppermint!
I will use lavender, peppermint or one of the citrus flavors.
