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 like to try Bergamot in the body butter. I enjoy the scent and it calms my spirit.
I would love to try this recipe! I would also want to try to make one with lavender and/or frankincense since they are so helpful to the skin. I would try one with Jasmine too. If I become a millionaire I would like one with rose oil in it. ;)
Dream catcher, frankincense, & rose
Grapefruit and Rose
Honestly, Highest Potential along with Peace & Calming will be my first batch combo.
I will most likely use the wonderful frankensence for this recipe. I have made this before and used lavender which was great, so , yep, frankensence will be my next try.
Stress Away, or orange and peppermint
I make all of my own skin care and love it. One of my most interesting mixtures has vanilla bean and I chose Cardamom. It is my favorite spice and good for senility. How could I go wrong!
I'm going to try Lime !
I'm thinking orange! Goes with fall season we're in! Although I do love frank, heck I love many, can't choose a favorite!
