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 this recipe. I always tend to use citrus scents with cocoa butter. I think the orange pairs well. I am going to try Frank too.
I would use Lavender - it's my favorite scent these days.
Orange oil and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
My favorite go to scent is peace and calming or peace and calming ll...I love that hint of patchouli, being from the 60's and 70's era.
I'm adding Lime and Stress Away oils to my body butter. The cocoa butter, coconut oil, Lime &blends of Stress Away make this a tropical getaway, even in the harshest of winters.
Cypress and grapefruit!!
