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!

Frankincense, Lavender, and Vetiver
I cannot get enough Joy! Thanks for the recipe - I cannot wait to try it.
I have used lavender often in aromatherapy. This sounds like a great combo!
I love lemon, lavender & frankincense combined in this, thank you!
Peppermint!!
I will use Stress Away for one batch and Orange, Lemon and Grapefruit for the next!
Sounds wonderful.
I've been using frankincense, cedarwood and lavender on my skin, in my bath, and in my diffuser for the last few weeks. Those 3 free oils sound perfect for making the body butter recipe with our little one....making Christmas presents for friends and family....introducing them to all the benefits and aromas!
