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 love to add Lavender and Frankincense for my DIY skincare products. It smells amazing and is great support for my skin. Grapefruit smells good, too. ;)
I would use Geranium, Frankincense and Myrrh. This looks luscious!
Will definitely use lavender essential oil in the body butter.
Great gift
Jasmine, my favorite flower aroma and relaxing characteristics
I would use Frankincense
I'm thinking I might like to try Clary Sage! Just got my first bottle of it and oooo what a clean, fresh smell. My feet are horridly dry, I'm planning on using this butter at bed time.
Yep, definitely use Frankincense & Lavender and I'd add Helichrysum & Geranium. Mmm Lovely, just so, so lovely. Anyone getting the feeling they're in a world all on their own yet ?
I love to diffuse Lavender and Cedarwood together, so I think that a body butter utilizing that combination would be soothing and wonderful!
Lavender and Geranium with a bit of Frankincense would be my choice.
Love this idea! Will use lavender for sure.
orange would be my favorite !
I would pick Abundance and I would rub it ALL over my body. I would keep my focus on Abundance in ALL things, love, gratitude, forgiveness, joy, living on purpose, kindness as well as wealth.
