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'm new to Young Living and I'm collecting as many recipes as I can as well as stock my supply to share with others! I'm so in love with YL oils! Thank you, Sherry
I would definitely use rose or frankincense oils with this body butter. I can't wait to try this recipe, and I will use it as a great make and take gift for attendees.
Stress Away + Lavender :)
I would love to use different oils for different reasons. I am a fan of Motivate your purpose and Joy.
Lavender and Tea Tree
I would do Frankincense and Lavender!!
I like to start my day with geranium shower gel. Would be even better in body butter.
I am torn between using Peppermint and Frankincense, Geranium and Lavender ... or for night-time use probably Stress Away and maybe Valerian.
I would try clarity for a day butter and lavender for a nighttime butter.
I'm going to give this a really good try! I'm going to use Frankincense, Peppermint (love the cooling effect) and LEMON (enjoy citrus in EVERYTHING) and maybe a little Lavender too. I am a new user to YLEO.
