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 to use this at night so Gentle Baby and Frankincense
I would love to try using Joy, which is my favorite.
Lavender, Frankincense, Geranium, Lemon
This looks like a great recipe! The oils of choice fro me to mix with this whipped Body Butter would be Cypress,Idaho Balsam Fir,Frankinsence and Copiaba. These make a great blend!
Frankincense and Lavendar
I can't wait to try this! I think I will try using Christmas Spirit. It's my favorite bath time oil so it seems like a natural pick for my first batch of body butter.
*Cedarwood, Lavender, Bergamont

I have to try this, immediately!! I absolutely looooove body butter! I am definitely going to try this with Release and Lavender!! Maybe throw in a few drops of frankincense just for good measure :)
When sharing YL oils with friends we sampled abundance and then White Angelica. The smell was glorious and oh my what a wonderful body butter this would be.
I would try lavendar, cedarwood and frank first. Seems I use lavender and cedarwood in everything. I need to start buying it by the 5 gallon bucket!
