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 using cedarwood, orange and frankincense. I love diffusing cedarwwod and orange at night. And it is a no brainer to add frakincense.
Frankincense and lavender would be my choice
Lavender would be my choice!
I would use Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood and Lemon.
I can't wait to make this! I am going to try Frankincense, Lemon, and Lavender in mine.
Sacred Frankincense and Lavender!
I love peppermint so I think i am going to try that!
Hi,
I used to buy body butter from a brand on HSN. It was expensive and I didn't know what was in it. I always wanted to make my own, but didn't know what essential oils to buy.
I am a member and buy kits mostly for my family and myself, and as gifts to close friends.
I am slowly learning about the great benefits of YLEO.
I would try LEMON & LAVENDER mixed together. I love that smell.
I go to the gym and made this body butter to use it as a skin softer! It has been fantastic!! Going to make more for my seven daughter's!! Put oregano lavender frankincense!! WONDERFUL!!
I would add lavender and peppermint. I love the combo. Might even add a little lemon to brighten it up!
