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!

Oh! I'm excited to try this recipe! My son has very dry hands and feet that crack in the winter months, I'm gonna try lavender in mine and use right before bed I'm thinking a win win for both me and my son!!
A combo of lavender and lemon, light and fresh!
Joy and orange are great together.
I'm going to start with Cedarwood & Copaiba.

Since this body butter recipe calls for cocoa butter, I would choose orange or peppermint because they are delish with the scent of cococa. :)
I'm excited to try this! I was looking for a way to make a facial cream with my new Young Living Essental Oils to help with my aging dried up skin.
I am going to add Bergamot, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Lavender and Ylang Ylang. Grounding, uplifting and earthy. :-) :-)
I made some for Holiday gifts last year with Frankincense, Myrrh, Lemongrass, Cedarwood, and Orange, It was a huge hit! I still get requests to make more!
Palo Santo with a hint of lavender..today is my birth day and I would so enjoy winning....love the recipes...
