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 bought cocoa butter (and other oils) to make lotions, but noticed the cocoa butter has a strong chocolate scent. Before I use it in a recipe does anyone know if the scent interferes with those of the EO's I want to use? I really don't want to smell like a Hershey bar!
I'm so wondering this also - don't want candy bar smell in my body butter!
I would use Lavendar, frankincense and purification
I totally love in my body cream Frankincense, Lavender, Geranium, Patchouli, and Myrrh! I have made it for some of my team members and they have had such great testimonies because of it! Its my number one go to day and night! Thanks Young Living!!!
Lavender and joy would be awesome
Simple recipe and I love anything containing the amazingly moisturizing coconut oil! The essential oil add ins are all great for skin support! Thank you Young Living, can't wait to try it out!
Frankincense, carrot seed and fennel .
Joy and Orange! Just made this and it's amazing!! Stress away and lavender is another favorite for body butter!
I Like to use a combination of Frankincense, Cedarwood and Peace & Calming. It feels great on my skin and helps me relax too!
I am making for my hubby. I'm using Frankenscence, valor and cedarwood
