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 going to do one with Joy and one with Peppermint!
Lavender
I would use cypress, copiaba, nutmeg and lavender.
Thank you so much for empowering Young Living members with recipes and ideas of how to share. Having a make and take class with this recipe has made it easy for me to do this without stress.
Lavender and Tea Tree oils smell wonderful! Love this recipe.
Frankincense, manuka, and lavender. Thanks for the recipe!
I'll try the body butter with lavender and lemon! Those those two together!
For sure I will whip up more than one jar using different Young Living Oil. One certainly will be with Lavender. A great gift for my friends birthday present also.
I love cedarwood, frankincense, and geranium.
I made my body butter with Abundance. I get so many comments on my "perfume" its awesome.
