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 would also use frankincense, stress away and lavender for my bedtime routine. I would use frankincense, peppermint and purification during the day.
I would love to win so I could try the skincare package! It sounds amazing!

I would add Lavender, Frankincense and Patchouli for nourishing skin, or Clary sage, lavender, lemongrass and ylang ylang for a calming, relaxing experience.
Citrus Fresh and Joy is one of my favorite yummy combos but I’d also like Lavender, Lemon and Frankincense. Eucalyptus mint is a great combo for winter!
