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 use Stress Away or Joy in my whipped body butter.
I made my first batch of body butter last night and I used Lavender and Frankincense! It looked and smelled amazing!
Great recipe for body butter! Love it!
I think I'm trying YlangYlang.
I'm thinking Peppermint would smell great with the cocoa butter! Or orange!
Well, I want to make several: for my morning skin regime I will use Bergamot. For my nighttime regime I will use Lavendar. And just because I am a Frankincense & Sacred Frankincense junkie I'll make an 'anytime' body butter with 'Frank!' :)
We love Lavender, Cedarwood & Frankinsense in our diffuser at bedtime. This recipe sounds amazing as well.
We love our essential oils & this recipe gives us a starting point to begin our diy's. Thanks for sharing! 💜 it!
