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 like Stress Away and Orange smells so yummy!
I would love to try this with Ylang-ylang & Lavender. I made some DYI laundry soap. Heavenly smelling.
thanks for the change to win!! I love YL
I would add my patchouli oil
Can't wait to make a batch of this. Think I'll start with the suggested Frankincense, Lavender and Cedarwood.
I would use lavendar, Frankensense, and Christmas Spirit for the upcoming holiday season in my body Butter!
I want to try this with helichrysum or tea tree oil!
I would try this with lavender, citrus fresh & sage, or white angelica.
