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 will use cedarwood.
I love mixing my own beauty products and I love using Young Living Oils in them!! Thanks for the great recipe!!
Does this recipe feel greasy or does it soak into the skin quickly?
I would use Abundance as I love this oil.
I would have to say Lavender & Frankincense. these two are my “go to” oils!
Jade lemon
FRANK IS BEST! Always Frankincense. Always Lavender. I think I’d LOVE to try Lady Sclareol next time. I just adore the aroma. What’s not to love. Smooch smooch.
Frankincense
Cedarwood, lavender and peace and calming II so I can apply it at bedtime!
I would use Frankincense and peppermint! I like the cooling effect!
I am going to try the frankincense in my body butter!
I think I would try Ylang Ylang or Sensation Oil. I love the scent of them both and need the feminine touch to my day.
Oh my goodness the options are endless. I think I will try Elemi and Cedarwood. I adore patchouli , so another one would be patchouli and ylang ylang for a sweeter fragrance . Can’t wait to mix em up!
Lavender, for sure!
I love Cedarwood and Citrus Fresh together, so I would try that combination!
Frankincense and Lavender.
I so love Lavender and Peppermint, so I may try this combination. But I also love Orange and Frankincense, so I may try this combo also. Just too many good oils/combinations. :)
Frankincense & Patchouli is heavenly!!
I always add lavender for its overall skin care properties, peppermint for a nice tingly sensation and frankincense to make it perfect.
I’m going to do one with lavender and stress away ;) What a great combination to put on after a bath and before bed. Sweet dreams to me!
How about Frank (of course) and Stress Away?
I want to try Gentle Baby in my body butter for a calming effect or a refreshing Grapefruit and Peppermint!
I cant wait to try this body butter recipe. I am in love with White Angelica, Purification, and Release, and am going to try incorporating them into this recipe. Thanks !!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to give this one a try!! I love your recipes!! They inspire me to live a healthier life! Thanks!
I would like to add 1/4 cup of almond oil and 10 drops of Palo Santo!
Frankincense is my favorite : )
I’m going to use Lavender and Frankincense. I love those two together.

Adding orange to the already sweet chocolate smell of the cocoa butter!
Lavender and palo santo
I just received JOY with my last order and have been wearing it daily since with my diffuser necklace. I can’t wait to make this body butter recipe and scent it with JOY! I know that having this in a body butter is certainly going to keep me in my happy place all day long and smelling great too! Thanks young Living😘
I love to use Gentle Baby in body butter. It makes a lovely gift for moms of all kinds. I also like rosemary and peppermint. Very refreshing combo. Substitute Kokum butter for the cocoa butter if you don’t want to cocoa smell.
I would add Lime, Sandalwood and Copaiba, for a zesty uplifting Hawaiian experience!
I would put in ylang ylang, geranium and neroli for the ladies. For men I would do sacred mountain with a little balsam fir or blue spruce. I will be making some today!
Frankincense and Bergamot
Mmm bergamot!
Gentle baby!
Grapefruit, elemi, and mastrante
I am not sure what I will use. I love citrus, so may try that. Of course Lavender and Cederwood would be really nice as well.
Lemongrass and purification!
Orange and Basil
I would love to try that combination, just got Cedarwood for the 1st time. This is next on the list for DIY :)
I would like to make a body butter with Lavender, Cedarwood, and Orange. Thanks for the awesome chance!
I use frankincense, joy and ylang ylang-ylang in my body butter. I would love to try cedarwood, it’s one of the oils I don’t have yet. Thank you for the recipe. I look forward to trying it!
