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 would use Young Living Lavender essential oil to start with.
Cedarwood, Lavender, and Frankincense are the oils I would choose as well!
My favorite is Patchouli oil. And my second on my skin is Frankincense and Cypress. But I just ordered Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood so I probably will have a new favorite!
I cant wait to make this, im gonna try with 3 wise men as soon as my order is here.
Patchouli and orange sounds wonderful. Can't wait to try the combination.
Of all my EO favorites, Lavendar, by far is my choice for the body butter. So calming and just "sweet enough"! Thanks for the great recipe. Can't wait to "whip" up a batch!
I love Body Butter, I have been looking for the perfect recipe and I think this is it. I want to add Joy to it because it is my favorite oil to use in the morning.
Lavender, Myrrh. Carrot Seed, Helichrysum. Those are my skin oils!
I really love the combination of lavender, cedarwood, and bergamot. I can't wait to try this recipe!
