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 make my own "oily" lotion every month for my toddlers. I love adding lavender and gentle baby for skin support and emotional support!
I think lavender and stress away would be good smells, I use these all time.
I love lavender and lemon together.
I think I will try joy patchouli and frankincense
What a wonderful recipe! Thank you!
I love to add Geranium, Frankincense, Copaiba, & Myrrh to my skin balms! It smells devine
I love these combos and have made it with Ylang Ylang, Geranium and Frankincense. I also just made a batch of hand lotion bars with my 6 yr old Granddaughter using Lavender in them. That is her favorite.
I want to try this. Would love to win this!
I cannot wait to try this and I am going to do lemon and mint as well as lavender and stress away!! I cannot wait!! =)
I love the extra "zing" of peppermint. Plus, it's a perfect scent for holiday gift giving with a candy cane garnish.
