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 am new to YL. Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely going to make this butter.
I love to put Vetiver and Valor to support balance and grounding, along with Frankincense and Lavender.
I just made this! Seems good and will share with my 7 daughters. Eucalyptus Frankincense and lavender! Wonderful to use after a swim at gym!!
Stress away!
I'm thinking orange and frankincense. I can't wait to try this
Definitely want to try this with Orange, but after reading other comments, maybe I'll add in some frankincense too!
I use frankincense, myrrh,royal sandalwood and a little rose. love it!
Lemon, Orange, and Bergamot or Orange and Peppermint would be lovely!
