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 plan on trying this with Deep Relief. I love the smell and the effect!
I need to make this asap
this looks so awesome for winter skin care.
I would add Peppermint and Lavender to mine. I love those two together.
I have been adding Gentle Baby to my body butter. And the next batch I plan on adding frankincense and lavender. I also add a teaspoon of sweet almond oil for extra moisture.
That's a tough one as there are so many great smelling essential oils. I will try a mix of Grapefruit, Jade Lemon and Citrus Fresh essential oils as they are my current favourite ones to mix.
I love Stress Away essential oil blend, adding it to this recipe to use as a body moisturizer would be amazing! It would also be nice to mix Lavender and Gentle Baby to make a bedtime body cream.
I love using Stress Away & frankincense in my homemade beauty products! :)
