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 made several smaller batches with my Mom. We used Myrrh, Frankincense, Geranium, Carrot Seed, Lavender, Patchouli and Tea Tree.
Frankincense, patchouli and orange.
Lemongrass and peppermint would be the oils I would use.
Definitely would like to try lavender and frankincense!
Frankincense, patchouli and sage.
I would make one using just Stress Away. Another would be Eucalyptus Blue and Spearmint.
Lavender, spearmint and grapefruit.
I really plan on making this recipe. I would like lemongrass and ginger essential oil in. Mine.
Yang ylang, Geranium, and Patchouli :)
Cannot wait to try this, this winter. Thanks so much!
