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!

Abundance with Lavendar In a 2 to 1 ratio.
I love to use coconut oil, infused olive oil w/ amazing herbs and a little beeswax to make consistency harden a bit. I use Frankincense and Sacred Frankincense oils in my body butter.
I would use lavender, Frankincense & grapefruit! But Cedarwood sounds nice too, I will have to try that sometime soon! Thanks for the chance to win!
I'd add patchouli, frankincense, grapefruit and lavender!!
I would add some almond oil, and orange, cinnamon bark and cloves
I would use Lavender or lemon or orange with cinnamon. This looks like a great recipe, can't wait to try it.
Lavender would be my first choice, a little Frankincense would be a bonus. I love them both. For a lovely, calming scent, I would try it with Stress Away. It's my favorite oil (I wear it like perfume). :)
I use Vetiver, Lavender, and Cedarwood for a wonderfully relaxing experience!
I'm going to make mine with Lavender, Geranium and Grapefruit!!
