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 love Lavender, Frank and Cedarwood. That combo is exactly what I have mixed with distilled water and vodka to out in my hair after I shower. It helps with tangles and they have ggreat benefits as you know for hair and scalp. Another blend that would be good is royal hawaiin sandlewood and rose if I am ever able to afford them. One day!!! Lastly, another awesome blend would be ylang ylang, vetiver and bergamot to use before an intimate night with your significant other. ;)
I would add frankenscense, geranium, and orange, and rose oil’s.
Frankincense, patchouli and lavender
I would love to try lavender in the body butter.
Melrose, lavender and frankincense! 😊
Ooh, this sounds heavenly! I want to try it with lavender essential oil. Great gift idea!
Clary sage Youngliving essential oil
Lavendar and Rosehip would be some of my favorites to try in body butter.
I will try Frankincense and Lavender in my body butter! :)
I love your oils. I would try Cedarwook, and Frankincense, since I have those ones.
I think frankincense and neroli would smell and feel wonderful in a body butter!
Planning on using a combo of cedarwood, frankincense and orange for my husband.
Oh, I would have to throw in my favorite oil – lavender. I don’t do anything without my lavender. Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck to all who enter.
I’m planning on making some with cedarwood along with something I haven’t decided on yet as,a gift for my husband. I’m leaning towards using orange and frankincense.
I would use a combination of Frankincense and lavendel in the body butter
Oh my this would be a great way for me to try this awesome body butter with those 3 oils that I don’t own! I am loving Young Living Essential Oils and have been very blessed to have some great friends from church who have been eduacating me on their phenominal results using the oils! Life changing!
I would use lemon and orange for a citrusy smell
I’m going to try Lavender and Frankincense or man be Geranium and Frankincense!
I have been making this for awhile now & love it! I started experimenting for my African American sons skin which needs lots of good moisturizing. Soon we were all using it. I use lavender for my son, gentle baby for my little girls and my current favorite for me is Geranium.
I would use gentle baby, frank and melorse.
Oh my goodness gracious I would DIE if I won this! I am fairly new to my oils and am so hooked. I would absolutely use frankincense, or lavender. Maybe even both! Frank has totally changed my skin in the month I’ve been using it topically. I’ve never seen anything work this well on my skin and I would love love love to try some more wonderful skin care products!
Grapefruit and Acceptance :)
I am definitely going to whip up some of this:) Thinking a great Christmas gift for some special people😉. Maybe a little Rose Oil and YlangYlang!
I love lavender, but might try ylang ylang
StressAway, Of course!
I would use rose and sandalwood, my two favorite oils😀😀😀😀😀😍😍😍😍😍
I think this would be really good if made with Joy.
While I do believe I would completely use the same combo, I do think I would love to try something with Bergamot, Cedarwood, and Northern Lights Black Spruce since it’s fall and reminds me of Autumn.
Cedarwood and frank!!
I love the combo of Peppermint and Rosemary for my body butter.
Frankincense and lavender 💜💛
Lavender & Frankincense
I would use lavender in mine. Never tried to make body butter before. Will definitely try this!
I would put in Jasmine essential oil! This one is great for skin support and smells wonderful.
I love the smell of Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood. Can’t wait to try it in this Body Butter.
I would use lavender in mine.
I would use all the above oils, then about 8 of patchouli, 5 ea of cypress & geranium, then a drop or two of sandalwood!
Pick Me …Pick Me….my birthday is November 4 and this would be a great present :)
Can’t wait to make it!!
I want to try Myrrh oil with Frankincense! I just taught a Ancient Scriptures class, and it looks like that is the BOMB combination!
Lavender Frankincense and Joy
I think Stress Away as a body butter would be fantastic!
Since Rose is great for skin support…why not add that with a hint of sandlewood…Heaven scent if you ask me!
I want to make one with gentle baby. I love that smell.
Ooh!! Would love to win this!!
I would add geranium, elemi, and patchouli to my body butter to support my skin
