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!

Can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks
I use a lavender, peppermint and frankincense in my body butter and love how it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth
Because I would be using in the morning, I would use something that is my focus for the day: Abundance, Live Your Passion, Joy, Believe, White Angelica, Valor and Peace & Calming would be some of my choices.
I love lavender and frankincense in this body butter. And the body butter is marvelous. Shirleen
I've used both of these in a face cream and love it! Gonna try this recipe as I lost the one I had been using!
I'm going to use Geranium, Joy and Stress Away!
I'd like to try some frankincense, orange and geranium
I already love using Frankincense and Lavender in my skin care routine so I'll definitely be trying a batch of body butter with these oils!!
Can't wait to try lavender and stress away in mine!
