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 and Frankincense!
lavender, lemon, frank
I use coconut oil (about a 1/2 a cup) with Frankincense, Lavender & Purification ( about 10 drops each) as my daily face moisturizer. I've been doing this for nearly 2 years and love it!
Love this and can't wait to try it! I think I would try lavender and thieves or patchouli.
Honesty- probably Thieves!
For a night time butter I would use Cedarwood, Lavender and Vetiver. For day time Peppermint, Lemon Grapefruit and Frankincense.
I can't wait to try this recipe. I would probably use lavender, one of my most used oils. Thank you
Geranium, Palo Santo, Frankincense....just to name a few
Would like to try this with Believe..I always get compliments when I use this oil.
I absolutely love making my own body butter with Young Living's essential oils!
