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!

Love this recipe, and thankfully I have all the ingredients on hand! I think I'll use Frankincence and some Joy in my body butter that I make. I love that combo together!
I would use lavender, stress away and lemon in mine! I just love the smell of those 3 together!
I would try adding Panaway
I love Bergamot in lotions and bath salts...citrusy but not too much. I'd pair it with something earthy in the body butter!
vetiver, frankinsense & lavender
Hmm...the possibilities are endless! Stress Away & Lemon, Joy & Lemon, any of the citrus for summer & a touch of Thieves.
I love to shower in the evening then smother on lavender whipped body butter as it helps to support a good night's sleep.
My body butter recipe includes 1 cup shea butter, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1/2 cup jojoba oil whipped with electric beater - added essential oils are lavender, cedarwood, orange, tangerine, ylang ylang and patchouli.
H E A V E N L Y !!
Going to have to try this. Using peppermint and wintergreen. And or Cinnamon and clove.
