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!

Frankincense, myrrh, and lavender
Frankincense and lavander. maybe ylang yalang since i love it's scent
i would add frankincense and lavender. Maybe even ylang yalng since i love the scent!
I can't wait to make this and try Frankincense, Lavender and maybe Geranium in it!
I'll be trying this with Palo Santo.
I love Patchouli and would mix up this recipe with it!
Jasmine or geranium would be great.
I'd love to try Immupro, peppermint, and lavender.
I haven't made any body butter as of yet, when I do I will be using Frankincense, Lavender and Longevity in one and experiment with my oils making more :) I am always experimenting with my oils, that's the best way to find what works for my family and myself
