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!

Lavender and frankincense
I would do lavender and Frankinsence
Oh looks so easy and fun! Can't wait to try!
Lavender
We love our homemade body butters and moisturizers (even deoderant)... Using all our Young Living oils to make our personalized favorite scents. Citrus body butters, frankincense, myrrh and lavender facial moisturizer, and tea tree, purification, and lemon deodorant are some of our favorites!
I would use Lemon and Eucalyptus Globulus in the body lotion. The combination supports body, mind and spirit. What a wonderful way to start the day!
I will use Gentle Baby, because I am expecting a baby. With one of my other babies I used Gentle Baby on my belly, and after she was born, She loved it! It also supports healthy skin. :)
I would like to try peppermint or orange. Or maybe both together!

I'm thinking Basil would be best.
I can't wait to try these wonderful body lotions.
