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 love Frankincense, Lavender and Manuka!!
I would add patchouli, vetiver and Ylang Ylang!
Stress Away and Jasmine for the spring/ Summer
Christmas Spirit and Orange for the winter.
I am excited to make this for my sister in laws for Christmas!! I think I might do a cederwood and lavender. Thanks for these post.
Not quite sure what I would try as I am new at this. Probably lavender, frankincense for sure (my favorite) and maybe vetiver. Beginning to love this one too. Great giveaway by the way. Pick me, pick me, lol.
Oh my! These oils are my favorites. I've never made a body butter before, but i'd love to make one (or more! hihi).
I'd love to win his. :)
Panaway or Wintergreen. Totally LOVE the smell of them.
I would love to win 💞💞
I love the refreshing and uplifting sent of Citrus Fresh ! I would use Frankincense and Citrus Fresh... Oh what a great lotion this will be :)
I would bathe in frank and rose oil if I could :). Both would be pretty fantastic in these body butters! Maybe even geranium !
