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!

Since I have 60 year young skin, I would use Frankinscense and Lavender.
I just made this tonight and used Lavender and Frankincense. Tomorrow I'm making more but with Melrose. I also will be using Mango butter with the coconut oil and cocoa butter.
I love the smell of Lavender and lemongrass together! So clean & fresh smelling! 😊
I would use grapefruit, lavender and myrrh in my body butter❤️️

I think that orange and peppermint would be lovely, maybe geranium, or somehow make it with some Christmas spirit for a wonderful gift to share. THANKS for sharing the recipe.
Would love to have this!!
Stress away because that is my life blood! Christmas spirit would be lovely for gifts or just to get in the Christmas spirit!
