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!

Can't wait to try this recipe with Frankincense and Lavendar!
I would use lavender & rose essential oil.
I wonder what Christmas Spirit would be like ? I love essential oils. my mind, body, spirit etc are all in a better place thanks to YoungLiving essential oils. I will be making more then one so I have options.
This is fantastic! My added oil of choice would be grapefruit!
I would add a little thieves and peppermint for a refreshing morning and midday moisturizing pick me up.
Lucious! Would want to add lemongrass or ylang ylang for a spa like experience. With holidays upon us, frankincense and cinnamon bark absolutely would be wonderful for gifts.
Patchouli, Frankincense and Lavender
Lavender
Tea tree
Stress away (because it's my favorite)
I'm new to the essential oils thing, but I love lavender. I think that would be my choice. I also think I'm going to go make some of this body butter. Thanks for the recipe!
I am going to use Frankincense, Cedarwood, Clove, and Lavender.
