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 think I would try it with JOY.
I would use Magnify your Purpose.
I am new to oils, but I just bought Frankincense so I will try it with that & lavender because I heard that Frankincense was good for dry sin & I like the smell of Lavender
I'm thinking Peppermint would be a great one!
Lavender, cedarwood and frankincense!
Love Cedarwood and will try this recipe.
Bergamot and patchouli!!!
I use a facial cream I made by adding the following Young Living essential oils to my favorite facial unscented cream: Frankincense, Lavender & Bergamot. I want to try Patchouli in my next batch.
Can't wait to make this. I'm going to use patchouli and bergamot!
I want to try this with Joy and Sensation! And Rose. Maybe try a combination...
