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 will add Lavender, Cedarwood, and Francenscine to my body butter.
Lavender and Peppermint give the best of both world's !!!!
Oh fun! I love frank and myrrh in my body butter! Would love to try the Mirah shave oil one of these days!
Frankincense will be my choice for my body butter. The smell truly lifts my mood. I can't wait to try the butter!
I use Lavender and Manuka! =)
I love Bergamot.
I would use Joy and probably a floral eo such as Lavender or Ylang Ylang.
For me, I would combine 10 drops of Frankincense & 15 drops of Lavender in this body butter. I can't get enough of them!
I would also like to try Stress Away with Lavender.
I would LOVE to win this kit because I am looking for a new way to amp up my skin routine and haven't had a chance to try these yet!
Love frankincense, but I might try lavender & tea tree also!!! I'm excited to make this; thanks!!
I'm actually excited to have seen this post. I'm planning a make and take pamper yourself girls night, and am going to let each pick their own oils to add in! I personally love using Frankincense on my skin. But I want to make a batch with Joy as well!
