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!
This is a great idea for Christmas gifts!
I would add Melrose.
I’m wanting to try the Lavender and Cedarwood blended in this together for a relaxing night body butter. The perfect bedtime massage for rambunctious littles!
Any EO would be wonderful to use. Make several batches with different oils. stress Away, lavender, etc. don’t settle for just one!!!
Geranium and orange! ❤
I think I will try Joy in my body butter. Thanks for the recipe!
I love homemade body butter. I’m hoping to have time to make some.
This sounds like an easy recipe…I’ll have to give it a try! Thanks for the opportunity for a chance at the giveaway!
Thank you! I can’t wait to try this
I would use clary sage. It is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I’d like to try it with the Sara blend. Or maybe geranium and orange…
I’ll have to try this recipe! I make a similar one but without cocoa butter. I usually use lavender and peppermint, but recently made a batch using Cinnamon and Peppermint-so yummy!
This looks amazing! I will be trying Lavender and Frankincense (smile)
Can’t wait to try this. Lavender, Frankincense, Helichrysum.
I am so looking forward to trying this recipe! I love those three oils. I just made a body butter with grapefruit. I love the smell.
Young living has the best products!
I would love to win these amazing products!
I would use Joy. I love the way it smells!
I’ll be making some of this SOON! Especially since it’s getting drier here in Colorado :) I’m thinking of using Young Living’s Manuka, Frankincense and Lavender essential oils!
I’m going to use Progessence Phyto Plus and Eucalyptus. :)
Lavender in mine!!
I like tangerine and a little peppermint to energize and smell fresh!!!
I’ll try fennel and panaway in my body butter batch!! Love that combination!! Smells amazing!!
I’ve never used cocoa butter before in my body butters! I always use shea. My favorite oils to add to my body butters are: Stress Away, Lavender, Peppermint, or Orange.
Just that…. Cedarwood, Lavender and Frankincense!!! Gonna make this one!!!
Oh, I love the combination of Lavender and Frankincense! I will add this to my weekend DIY list.
I am going to make mine with myrrh, patchouli and Lime essential oils to support mature skin. My after bath body butter will be lavender, cedarwood and ylang ylang. The combinations are endless.
I would have to use some geranium in this lotion! :)
I would love to try the Young Living Essential oil’s clove, cinnamon bark, orange and nutmeg for a Pumpkin Spice version of this whipped lotion! I think it would be the best Autumn fragrance around!
Frankincense and Orange or even Bergamot!
Orange and lemongrass!!! 😍
I am going to try it with Palo Santo. I’m excited to try this!
I would try lavender for bed time, Panaway for my feet, lemon for a fresh summer scent (lemon and coconut together sounds heavenly), but my first batch would have to be frankincense for it is my favorite oil.
I would use a few drops of “Present Time” – because it has Neroli in it, and I adore Neroli. I would add a few drops of “Joy”, and a few drops of Frankincense.
I’d like to try Manuka!
I’m going to try joy essential oil and orange essential oil when I make the homemade Body Butter.
I think I’d try lavender & cedarwood, or gentle baby!!! So calming!
I can’t wait to try it!!! Love YL Oils!!!
I am going to try this for a give away. I think lavender, frankincense, patchouli and geranium would be wonderful!
This may sound off the wall, but I may combine this recipe with orange essential oil. I feel like coconut scent mixed with orange will create a beautiful transition from summer into fall!
I will definitely try this! I think I will try Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang. Two of my favorites!
For myself, I’ll be using Manuka, Frankincense, and/or Lavender. For gifts, I’ll be using Stress Away, Lavender, and/or Cedarwood!
I need to try this! I would use peppermint, lavender, palo santo and some frankinsence. They are my favorite smells!
I would use Frankincense and Lavender!!!
Orange, Cedarwood and Bergamot is a favorite mix I like to use.
Stress Away would be my first choice! Love that oil!! But then Lavender and Frank and gentle baby!
My favorite oils for body butter are Frankincense, Lemon, & Manuka.
I would use lavender for this body butter! Thanks for a great recipe!
