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 Melrose!
I would use Sacred Frankincense, Vetiver and Lavender.
I would love to try this with geranium. Maybe even make a night time one with lavender and cedar wood to rub on the bottom of my kid's feet.
I am going to put Stress Away in my batch of body butter. That scent along with soft skin sounds like a winner to me :)
Can't wait to give this a try. I'll probably start with the suggested Cedarwood, Frankincense & Lavender.
I would put Thieves or stress away in mine! I love the scent of stress away!
