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 cedarwood for sleep!!
Tea tee and lavender for skin!!
Ooh this sounds amazing! I love body butters! I would have to mix up a few different batches but I would probably have to go with a Lady Sclareol and Copaiba batch for sure! This is one of my new favorite mixes for all things girly! It smells absolutely amazing and I constantly get compliments when I wear it but really I ♡ how it is helping me balance out like nothing ever has! II'll forever be grateful to YL for this amazing blend of awesomeness! ♡♡♡
A few more ideas:
Peace and Calming II with Vetiver ♡
Stress Away and Joy♡
Lavender and Cedarwood ♡
RC and Lemon♡
Ylang Ylang and Orange ♡
I made a batch with some friends and we added lavender oil. We each took home a jar- and we all love it!!
Looking forward to trying this out! We all deserve some pampering!
Would like to try bergamot
I would use Elemi and Gentle baby.
Lemongrass is nice!
I want to try Gentle Baby in my homemade whipped body butter!
Either Lavender or Patchouli and Orange. Love those too as my cologne for the day.
I can't wait to use this in our home-made Christmas this year! What a great gift!
