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!

Will definitely make soon and use lavender for a relaxing bedtime balm and citrus for a morning wake up.
I absolutely LOVE these homemade essential oil items! And I LOVE Young Living!!!
Love this! I can't wait to start making body butters :)
Lavender, most definitely!
I will add some lavender, Peppermint and Frankincense.
I would use orange and peppermint for a holiday treat body butter
I will be making this body butter with Jasmine!!! It is my favorite oil next to Valor and Frankincense!! I call it my 'Man, I feel like a woman!' oil!!! I am sure to feel good about myself after using this to soften my skin and smell like a bouquet of lilacs! Can't wait!
Mine will most likely have either Gentle Baby or Manuka.
Lavender is one of my favorites
This is the first time I have seen this recipe. I would add frankensense to it as I do with plain coconut oil.
