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 excited to try the home made hand cream.
For this season I would like to try Bergamot, Northern Lights Black Spruce, & Christmas Spirit.
Lemon or lavender
I would love to try Joy in this recipe!
I am new to this but I do love lemongrass. I would use lemongrass, lavender and cedarwood. I am waiting on my first kit so excited to started in making new things and Christmas gifts not to mention getting my home toxic free. :)
I think Jasmine or geranium might be nice.
I think Lavender, Cedarwood, and Orange would be nice for relaxing. Peppermint and Grapefruit would be s favorite blend during the summer months!
I would do Joy and peppermint!!! :-)
Ginger is my favorite!
Frankincense, Lavender & Geranium.
Possibly adding Ylang Ylang because I love the scent, or Melissa.
I love the aroma of lemon, lavender and peppermint along with thieves. I would love to use this recipe with these four oils!
