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!

Copaiba is one of my favorites to add to homemade body butter! I love the way it smells <3
I would love to try Lavender and Vetiver to make a nice night time cream!
I make mine with Lavender, Melrose, Frank, almond oil & a little wax to keep it solid in a the warmer months.
I want to make a pumpkin spice body butter with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove! :)
I love Lavender, frankincense and carrot oil!
Thieves is my overall favorite oil. Perhaps I would add cedar wood or bergamot.
Jasmine is one of my favorite essential oil
Palo Santo and Frankincense!
I'd try lavendar
My favorite combo is Stress Away and Lime. It's uplifting and calming at the same time.
I would make mine with Joy. One of my favorite oils. I get compliments everytime I use it.
