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!

Orange & peppermint! One of my favorite combos.
Shutran for my husband and peace and calming for me
I can't wait to try this in a batch made with the Frankincense for dry winter skin and another with Peppermint for a relaxing foot rub!
Love essential oils, can't wait to try this.
Lavender and stress away, tea tree oil and since I have a newborn would even consider using gentle baby oil to make a cream for baby.
Before I even read the recipe, I thought of Lavendar and Frankensense oils. I also think Peppermint, Citrus Fresh, Lemon, Stress Away, maybe even Panaway to be used on sore muscles.
I am a newbie so have not tried a lot of the oils yet.
I LOVE this! I'm going to add Patchouli to mine.
Lavender
This recipe is something I will make using geranium, Orange, and frankincense oils.
I would love to use lavander, purification and Thieves in the body butter. Yummy!
