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 love using Frankincense & lavender in cold pressed coconut oil for my body butter. I 've made this several times often giving small glass jars of the body butter as gifts. It's a real conversation starter to those who haven't started utilizing Young Living Oils!!!
Making some now! Lavender + Frankincense for me, and Idaho Blue Spruce + Cedarwood for my husband! 😊
I use Lavender, Frankincense, & Lemongrass. I love the aroma of Lemongrass.
I would do a blend of lavender and Lemon for a fresh relaxing sent.
Oh. . . just one batch?! I think Joy and Stress Away first. :)
I would add peace and calm for an all over experience!
Can't wait to make some and try it!!
For me it will be lavender, Geranium and Frankincense.
