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 Lemon and Frankincense with 2 drops of Thieves oil. I would go a bit heavier on the Lemon oil because it is so refreshing. AND the Thieves
I think I will try lavender with a little peace and calming! I think it will be good for after a nice warm bath before bed.
I would try stress away it's my favorite and then I would try a lavender one for my daughter!
Frankincense and lavender!
I'm ready to try this. I think Stress Away or Peace and Calming would be good to try add to the coconut oil.
I am going to try it with Lime and a few drops of frankincense! I love the smell of lime with the coconut oil. Thanks for the recipe!! Can't wait to try it!!!
I absolutely love lavender, so calming and peaceful. I would also love a 'summer' batch, and I will use lemon for that, so refreshing!!
I have everything to whip this up this weekend. I think I'm going to try some of the warm fall oils - clove, ginger, cinnamon bark and orange! I love a mix that I use everyday with a carrier oil, which I use in my face twice a day - thieves, lavender, frankincense and purification. LOVE IT!
I love the uplifting aromas of Stress Away, Orange & Peppermint mixed together! I'll try that when making this body butter.
I like to use mango butter in place of the cocoa butter for a less nutty base scent. Then my favorite EOs to add to support skin are geranium, frankincense, patchouli and cedarwood!
