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 am using a similar body butter. I put in frankincense, joy and yang ylang. I love it! I look forward to trying the cedarwood. That's one oil I don't have yet. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I have made this. It is wonderful. LOVE how it feels. Works wonders on those elbows
I would add Grapefruit. Lighten the scent & give it a summertime feel...
Lavender and Frankincense for sure!
Grounding! I love it and would certainly give it a try.
I love making my own body butter. Thanks for the awesome recipe! Frankincense, Geranium and Lavendwr are great for the skin. I'm going to try those in my recipe.
