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!

Lavender & Frankincense
I would use lavender in mine. Never tried to make body butter before. Will definitely try this!
I would put in Jasmine essential oil! This one is great for skin support and smells wonderful.
I love the smell of Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood. Can't wait to try it in this Body Butter.
I would use lavender in mine.
I would use all the above oils, then about 8 of patchouli, 5 ea of cypress & geranium, then a drop or two of sandalwood!
Pick Me ...Pick Me....my birthday is November 4 and this would be a great present :)
Can't wait to make it!!
I want to try Myrrh oil with Frankincense! I just taught a Ancient Scriptures class, and it looks like that is the BOMB combination!
