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!

Bergamot and Lime to make it fruity.
Jasmine and Stress Away, mmmm relaxing.
I gotta make this! Where does one find Cocoa Butter most economically? Can't wait to make this! Now I need to decide WHICH oils!
Lavender, frankincense, and peppermint!
I love Citrus Fresh!!! That will make a great body butter. And peppermint is awesome too!
I make a Cream with this recipe to give away with PanAway, Copaiba, Frankincense, Idaho Balsam Fir, Lavender & Peppermint. My friends love it!
I use a blend of frankincense, lavender, helichrysum and geranium rose if I have it.
For moisture, I'll use lavender. Also, frankincense and orange because I love the invigorating smell!
I'm going to try Lavender, Melrose, and Myrrh ❤ this has worked wonders in a bath can't wait to try in a homemade lotion !!
Stress Away...alll the way! Lol I love it and I have added it to lotions in the past. Also thieves is really great too. Thieves smells like Autumn in a bottle.
