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!

Neroli and Geranium would be in my body butter!!
Frank and Lavendar! This looks like a great idea for Christmas presents!
Love this idea. Can't wait to try it.
I would use Joy in the body butter because I like to use Joy in place of cologne. That way I would be layering the scent.
Have tried making butters and soaps but I need a substitute for coconut oil as I can't handle the smell. I'll keep trying and will try this recipe when I figure it out!
I love using frankincense on my skin. :)
I'm loving manuka! It's one I got with a promo and wouldn't have thought to buy. Thank you Young Living ffor your thoughtful promos!
I would use Peppermint and Joy.
I am new to oils but I bought some Frankincense so I will try it with that and some Lavender as I like the smell of Lavender.
Hmm..... How about a Fall and Christmas warm body butter? Tangerine, Christmas Spirit, and an extra drop of Clove....these are some I have on hand, but sounds like a delightful plan....
