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'm excited to learn about essential oils and how they can be used as my own household and personal care products and as gifts for others. I'm glad to be able to create and gift products that can safely support my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of my family and friends.
This sounds like an easy and delicious body butter! I plan to make several to give as gifts at the holiday season, using uplifting citrus oils like lemon and tangerine! Thanks so much for the recipe.
Thank you Young Living. I so love these blogs! I will be trying Cedarwood & Frankincense.
I want to try one of each but I would start off with frankincense!
Lavender would be my choice.
Frankinsense & Orange! :)
I love citrus scents, so I'd try grapefruit or tangerine!
I would use Frankincense and ylang ylang
This sounds so good. Must try for upcoming winter season.
I would use Orange, Lemon and Peppermint.. Those combinations together make a wonderful scent for after you morning shower.. Great scent to start your morning.
