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!

My body butter is being made with my favorite essential oils: Lavender, Vetiver & Frankincese. These essential oils are such a claming combination! How wonderful to apply this body butter right before relaxing for the evening. Be Peaceful...Be Calm...Be One!
I will be using peace & calming essential oil.
I would add Grapefruit Essential Oil to mine. It slows hair growth and less time shaving is always good.
Peppermint & Orange!
I just love lavender.
I like to use Tangerine, peppermint and elemi.
I think I will try to use some Joy or sacred mountain in my body butter. I have some left over solid cocoa butter from my pregnancy, that I will try to use!
I would make mine with Joy, peppermint, lemon, and tangerine. What a way to start your day.
I'm planning on making a batch with lime and Stress Away
