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 can't wait to try this recipe!
I would love to make One with Lavender and one with Stress Away!! Thanks for the great recipe!!!
I love learning new young living DIYs Thanks for sharing :)
I'm brand new to this so would probably stick to your suggestion of lavender, cedarwood ,and frankincense. I look forward to getting to know the oils well enough to have my own preferences.
I want to try this mix. I love cedarwood and lavender together. I have been banking points for Rose oil to buy because my toner from a salon and spa that I use for body spray is almost gone. I would love to share Rose oil with my downline. I would also make Rose body butter.
I can't wait to make this tonight. I think I'll try adding orange and cedarwood :)
Do you think this recipe would still work well if I switched the 1c cocoa butter and used 1c Shea butter instead? I would love to try this with frankensense and lavender.
I can't wait to make this....especially now that the colder air is sucking the moisture out of my skin like crazy. I think I'll try using orange and cedarwood with it :)
I am going to try lime and peppermint for a pick me up in the morning.
The above recipe sounds awesome.....I would also try orange oil and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
