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 will use lavender in my recipe.
Yes! I love this!
Lavender and Tangerine!
My dream body butter would have Frankincense, Myrrh and Rose essential oils. However based on what I have available, I plan to try this body butter recipe with Frankincense, Myrrh and Palmarosa.
The essential oils I would use would be lavender (my favorite), geranium and frankincense. So good for my very sensitive skin.
I have been using Young Living Essential Oils since May 2016, my whole life and family life have changed. We use everything that is wholistic or natural from head to toe. Thank you Young Living.
I have put Melrose in my body butter before and have loved it!
Frankincense and Geranium are the first to come to mind.
I would try frankincense , rosemary and geranium:)
Geranium, Frankincense...those are the first 2 that come to mind.
