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 a blend of Frankincense, Geranium, Manuka and Cedarwood :-) This combination goes well with my skin.
Stress Away would be my choice oil for Body Butter. This oil blend would give the body butter an awesome smell with that hint of vanilla.
Frankincense, Myrrh and Geranium
Awesome!
I love Frankincense, Lavender & Sandalwood! For the scent combo and support.
Frankincense would be amazing in this recipe, I would think!
I would mix orange essential oil for an invigorating smell!
What a perfect idea for Christmas gifts. I'll try some of my friends' favorites: Frankincense and Lavender for starters. Then I'll experiment with some combos like Bergamot and Tangerine. Oh what fun! Thank you for this wonderful blog!
I'm excited to try this body butter recipe as gifts for my teacher friends. I'm planning to make several batches using each friend's favorite oil: Frankincense, Lavender, and Abundance. Then I'll try mixing a new combo for me: Bergamot and Lemon. Thank you for super ideas on this blog!
I will add Melrose & Lavender. Can't wait to make it!
