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 love mixing my own beauty products and I love using Young Living Oils in them!! Thanks for the great recipe!!
Does this recipe feel greasy or does it soak into the skin quickly?
I would use Abundance as I love this oil.
I would have to say Lavender & Frankincense. these two are my "go to" oils!

FRANK IS BEST! Always Frankincense. Always Lavender. I think I'd LOVE to try Lady Sclareol next time. I just adore the aroma. What's not to love. Smooch smooch.
Frankincense
Cedarwood, lavender and peace and calming II so I can apply it at bedtime!
I would use Frankincense and peppermint! I like the cooling effect!
I am going to try the frankincense in my body butter!
