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!

For my body butter I would use the essential oils of Frankincense, Cypress and Jade Lemon.
Would definitely use frankincense & lavender and add ylang ylang... luv the smell!
I will add frankincense and royal Hawaiian sandalwood (just got it FINALLY!). Can't wait to try this 😍
I'm going to try stress away & bergamot for a relaxing and uplifting balm I can use after a bath!
I love grapefruit in my lotions as well as frankincense. Peppermint is great in a morning lotion along with orange or tangerine.
Made mine with peppermint & lavendar!
Frankincense & Ylang Ylang
