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 look forward to trying this with Bergamot and ylang ylang.
This sounds amazing!! I think I'll try it with a combination of lavender and frankensence!!
Lavender and gentle baby 😄😄😄
I will try this recipe. I use coco butter and coconut oil separator already. It never occurred to me to mix them together. Then add a essential oil. Oh which one to try? Better make small batches for many uses!
This Body Butter seems amazing!!
I think I'd like to try Northern lights with frankincense and myrrh .
Stress away and Lavender would be wonderful!
Lots of great suggestions!! I'd like to try several.
Thank You for sharing this recipe. I'm new to oils and excited to try new ways to use them. I would love to try Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood essential oil in this recipe as I sure do love the Sandalwood moisture cream.
Looks like something great for Christmas presents.
