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!

Can't wait to try this recipe with Lavender...and Stress Away....and Joy...so many possibilities. :)
I would use Lavender and vanilla. Those are two scents that I remember the most. I lost my scence of smell 13 yrs ago but i love the benefits of the essential oils even if i can't smell.
I would use Elemi, gentle baby and lavender in my body butter.
Grapefruit & Stress Away...fresh & uplifting!!
Stress Away and Peppermint for me!!! Smells like cake batter!
I would make it so I can use it on my kids. I would use Roman chamomile to make the body Butter after their baths to help relax before bedtime.
Can't wait to try this recipe!
I L O V E White Angelica and wear it as a perfume so I would adore it as a body butter 😊
This sounds wonderful! I make one with unrefined coconut oil, olive oil & beeswax plus Young Living essential oils. Will have to try your blend.
I love the combination of frankincense, lavender and rosemary,
