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!

Love this recipe! I will be making several versions of this........definitely one with stress away. Also Joy and Orange. Great Christmas gift ideas.
My skin is so dry and cracked on my legs and no store bought creams or lotions work. And believe me I have tried them all. I have been using Coconut Oil and Shea Butter with Frankincense EO, Grapefruit EO and Ylang YlangEO. But I think
I will try the Cocoa Butter in place of the Shea. For the holidays I think Cocoa Butter and Peppermint would be good. Almost smell like a peppermint patty.
i think I would try citrus fresh and Frankincense
I love this recipe! I would use the "Common Sense" oil blend. Who couldn't use a daily moisturizer with a little "Common Sense" each day. This would be the perfect gift for coworkers too!
I tried making this lotion yesterday and it is wonderful!!! I mixed tangerine, grapefruit, and bergamot and I named it Sunny. I gave some to my 88 yr old mother-in-law who LOVED it! She's having surgery next week so I think I'll make a new batch with peace and calming and lavender to help her relax.
The above recipe sounds awesome. I would try Orange oil and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
I just did this and used Frankincense and Lavendar. Love it!!
I've been looking forward to making a body butter, as well as a facial moisturizer, because I want to be fully embraced by all-natural, safe, and body enriching formulas which are hard to find in a retail environment (plus, if I make it myself I know it's truly organic and safe). I plan to make this body butter in multiple batches to see what I think works best for my skin type. Knowing that Lavender is a beautiful choice for skin in general I'll certainly have a few that include it, but I can't wait to see how the different combinations turn out!
In my batch of body butter I'm going to try a combo of Orange, Spruce, & Pine.
I would love to try this in both a day and night cream. I would like lavender and cederwood for the night cream and possibly frank and a citrus oil for day cream ( I know citrus is Photosensitive but I'm from Oregon so I don't have to worry about the sun much during the winter😂).
