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!

lavender orange and ylang ylang. love them blended together!
I can hardly wait to try this recipe. I'm very new to essential oils and want to jump in and try everything.
I love body butter. I'm excited to try this. It's nice to have a way to make products that I want to use.
I would use cedarwood and peppermint, or some Stress Away!
I would have to use Rose, Frankincense, Carrot Seed, & Cedarwood - for the first batch. Then try others each time after. :)
This recipe looks great! I would add lavender for sure as it smells wonderful and would go well after my nighttime bath routine
I will try to post this again!
Motivation is a wonderful essential oil! I will try this in my body butter.
Christmas spirit! Or bergamot and orange. Or white Angelica!
My favorite body butter right now is a mixture of Cedarwood, Bergamont, and a splash of lime to lighten and brighten the notes. It's grounding yet has a light freshness to it.
*Frankincense
*Tea Tree
*Cedarwood
*German Chamomile
*Stress Away
*Ylang Ylang
The list could go on and on. Can't wait to make some!! Thank you!!
