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!

The above recipe sounds awesome. I would also try Orange and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
I love to make this homemade body butter with panaway & Copiaba to use on my legs after a great workout at the gym.
The above recipe sounds great .....I would also try Orange and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
This is the simplest recipe I've seen. Where do I find cocoa butter, please? As far as which oil, that would be a hard decision. I love so many of them. :-) probably start with Stress Away, Lavender, and Frankincense. It is my latest combination love. Thanks for posting this. I'm still new to Young Living and loving everything I'm learning about the company and the products.
I would say Lavender, Patchouli, & Geranium.
I Love Body Butters and I Love "Joy" so it makes sense to put them together. I am a morning bath person, so as I lather up for the day, having Joy already in my Body Butter will make me so happy! I plan on making it this weekend.
I would use Frankincense, Copaiba and Idaho Balsam Firefox or Northern Lights Black Spruce in my body butter
