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 haven't recieved my kit yet but I bought Christmas spirit and I want to use that in the body butter.
I will definitely make this and one with orange and ginger!
I'm brand new to YL so haven't tried a lot of things yet. I think I'll make a citrus-y blend using orange, grapefruit and lemon. :)
Lavender and Frankincense Body Butter
Sandelwood so soothing after a warm bath before bed.
I would use Stress Away, or cedarwood and peppermint!
I would use some Stress Away, or some cedarwood and peppermint!
Love this recipe!!! I use it all the time. I learn something new everyday.
I have made this awesome lotion. It is very inexpensive to make. I am a huge diy beauty product maker! i am a newer YL distributor and learn something new everyday.
I'd love to try Manuka, Frankincense, White Angelica and possibly Juniper!
