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 would use cedarwood and peppermint, or orange and nutmeg!
I might try Citrus Fresh and Lavender

Just ordered the cocoa butter to make this! I'm excited to try Lavender and Frankincense in it :)
Patchouli and orange smell delightful together!
I will be doing this for holiday gifts! Thanks for the recipe.

I am a citrus girl, and would add Citrus Blend, Jade Lemon, Lemongrass or Tangerine and apply after my morning shower to uplift
