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 have always loved lavender and frankincense but the last time I made I used lavender and joy. It was heavenly!!
Neroli for sure!!!! Haven't tried it with the coconut oil and cocoa butter yet, but have made some using Neroli and Argan Oil. Neroli is my absolute favorite.
Sacred Mountain, Stress Away, or Ylang Ylang!:)! I would even consider trying Abundance (I absolutely love that smell:))! Oh man, the list goes on!!!
I made a wonderful body butter this evening using Young Living's Frankincense, Lavender and Northern Lights Black Spruce. What a wonderfully relaxing aroma.
I would make this whipped body butter using Peace and Calming, the original formula. I love it!!! Now it's coming back into stock, I cannot wait to get more.
I would use Mastrante and Ylang Ylang. I think that combo would smell great as well as some of the citrus oils like orange and lime.
I would try Tea tree oil because it's good for dry skin.
I use peppermint and eucalyptus as well as adding some support for muscles!
I would definitely try orange a peppermint. And I love the trio of Joy, orange, and citrus fresh!! Both would energizing and happy blends! ❤
I've heard patchouli is amazing for the skin! Might swap with cedarwood!
