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!

Peppermint for the holidays.
I LOVE YL EO's... ALL of them!!!
You posted my favorite, but also to give a little invigorating tingle, add some Peppermint either during the summer for cool and refreshing feeling, or during the winter cold season months, Thieves and Peppermint!!!
Grapefruit or something citrus - Love the invigorating smells if all the citrus oils.
I have made this body butter and it is fabulous I want to try using vetiver frankincense and lavender next time I make it! Love making DIY with YL oils always no worries about ANY toxins!!!

My favoritee oil to try is Purification. Or Thieves:)
For a general one I would probably just use Lavander. :)
