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!

My choice would be Stress Away. It's always my go to support relaxation.
Frankincense, and myrrh would be my essential oil choices for this recipe!
I wonder if orange would be good in this body butter seeing as orange is really nice in a foaming face wash.
I will be trying this for a possible make and take item. I always try the items first myself!
Ylang Ylang and bergamot!
That sounds fantastic! ;-)
Frankincense, Myrrh, and Rose!😍😍😍
I also add peppermint and a little arrowroot to help with absorption.
I'll be adding Patchouli and Orange! Those smell amazing together :)
I would use Frankinscence and Cedarwood! Ummmm!!
I would use YL Gratitude and Grounding together. I love those scents!
