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!

I would use lemongrass and bergamont because they both smell amazing.
I might try rose hip oil as my carrier with coconut oil oil can't wait to mix with frankincense lavender and lemon
I would use Neroli, Roman Chamomile and Rose. This blend is a clean light scent and is terrific for the skin.
Joy and ylang ylang
Orange and Jade Lemon!
I like putting lemon and lavender together - it's soothing and refreshing at the same time!
I adore Geranium in my skincare products, love the fragrance and impact on my skin!
Lavender & grapefruit are amazing for DIY lotions and deodorants!
Lavender, peace and calming and stress away
I love body butters! I have made mine with lime, and frankincense. I usually shower before bed, this combination is grounding and peaceful.
