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 definitely put Christmas spirit in mine for an amazing holiday scent! 😍
I am definitely going to whip up some of this! I would try Melrose, Frankincense, and lavender. Perhaps if I was lucky enough, I'd have some valor, Haha ;)
Make great additional gifts for Christmas time.
I use gentle baby, extra lavender and Frank.
So simple! Perfect for pampering winter skin!
Lavender peppermint and 🍋 lemon
I like the blend of Joy in my products that I make, but I also like the mix of lavender and lemon oils.
Stress away body lotion sounds divine!
I will be adding lemongrass
Can't wait to try this recipe with some stress away and lavender!!!
I would love frankincense and would like to try cardamom!!!
