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!

Grounding or Thieves. Warming smells for the cold days ahead!
Bergamot with a little lime oil! I love the fragrance of them both! And some grapefruit oil.
Making a jade lemon body butter and a Peace and calming body butter for my daughter. Making body butter and lip balm this weekend
Trying this today!! I'll add a little frankincense to mine
I use Melrose, Lavender, and Frankincense essential oils in my homemade body butter.
Lavender and Frankensence...Ummm!!
Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I would use StressAway and Joy in my body butter, it's my favorite combo!
Our favorite right now is bergamot, plumeria, vanilla, and almond. It smells so good.
