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 make mine with Frank, Lavender and Tee Tree. I might give some of this away as gifts, too!
I would love to make it with Copaiba, Palo Santo, and a little White Angelica. Can you say "Take Me Away" . This would just make my evening so relaxing.
I think I will use cederwood and maybe just a drop or two of cinnamon bark.
Frankincense and/or geranium
I made this body butter and used Lavender. I love it! I put some in small jars and used for gifts at a bridal shower. I plan to make more for Christmas gifts.
I would use Frankincense,royal Hawaiian sandalwood, and ylang ylang with maybe a drop of peppermint or two :)
What an amazing giveaway! I love this body butter.
Oh so many choices. I would probably use thieves, Peppermint, Wintergreen, hellichrysum.
Thanks for the Chance!
