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 use Joy! because of the Rose oil in it. Combined with some Bergamot
I love lavender, geranium, bergamot, and chamomille
Can't wait to try this!
Oooh, I could add joy. Or I could make one and add Eucalyptus & Peppermint
Besides those already mentioned, I would definitely add myrrh, Royal Hawaiian sandalwood for moisture (guidance from some YL blogs :D) and add something sweet for fragrance. My favorite is jasmine. It'll take some time to figure out with whenever I have and what works together.
Lemongrass and Lavender - those are wonderful together - calming and yet invigorating!
I'd love to try with Lemongrass and Cypress!!
Lavender and frankincense. So excited to make this!!
I would mix lavender, patchouli, vetiver & Frankincense.
I will try lavender and lemon essential oils in this body butter! Can't wait to try!
