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!

Two of my favorite aromatics are lavender and bergamot, so those would be a great pairing for me in a gorgeous body butter!
I cannot wait to "whip" up a batch of this! I think I'll use Frankincence, Lavender, and a bit of Ylang-Ylang. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
I would do Orange and Vetiver. I love the scent of both.
I make body butter all the time! I use coconut oil, shea butter, and avocado oil...and Sensation Essential Oil Blend!
So luxurious!
I love this! I'm planning on "whipping" up a couple different batches using "Stress Away", "Lavender", and also one with "Christmas Spirit"! Can't wait! I usually make sugar scrubs for Christmas and this will switch things up nicely!!
Clary sage, lavender and geranium
I would do a lavender body butter to use after the bath or shower in the evening to help me unwind and relax before bed.
I think I am going to try Peace and Calming with Believe this time since I have just received Believe in this months order then also Progessence Plus.
I love lavender, frank and cedarwood, so I am going to make 3 batches! I'm having friends over to make it with me. Can't wait!!
I would love to try either lavender or eucalyptus blue simply because I love the smells. I may have to play around with some different scent blends to see what smells the best!
