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 would love to try that combination, just got Cedarwood for the 1st time. This is next on the list for DIY :)
I would like to make a body butter with Lavender, Cedarwood, and Orange. Thanks for the awesome chance!
I use frankincense, joy and ylang ylang-ylang in my body butter. I would love to try cedarwood, it's one of the oils I don't have yet. Thank you for the recipe. I look forward to trying it!
Love the chemical free option, can't wait to whip some up
I love lavender and mint together!
Love this recipe. I would add Manuka oil.
I love this option for nasty chemical free moisturizer. Can't wait to whip some up this weekend.
Frankincense & Geranium
