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!

Lavender is my go to, but I do like vetiver, lemongrass, or maybe citrus fresh for a body butter!
I love body butter. I would use tea tree and frankincense.
I personally love stress away and orange or lavender for a calming smell.
Abundance. Love wearing abundance, esp during this season
I am going to make it and try it with Copiaba, Frankincense and Bergemot! I can't wait to go get some cocoa butter! Thank you for these wonderful recipes!
I also love making homemade lotion using YL Lavender and YL Frankincense. Also Frankincense and Myrrh. Cannot go wrong with Bergamot. Also in the summer love using fruity cents like, orange, citrus fresh, tangerine, lime, etc.
Frankincense Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil, Gentle Baby would be a nice combination.
Lavender and Frankense. Relaxing and good for the skin!
Aroma Siez I love the smell.
I would like to try Joy plus Orange for a springtime scent or Christmas Spirit with Lemon for a winter scent. I also LOVE the Lavender, Cedarwood, and Frankincense scent and the added benefits!! Looking forward to making this and giving some away for Christmas! Thank you!
