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 love Stressaway in my lotion
I would add peace and calming and tangerine!
Patchouli and Melrose for me! Can’t wait to try this.
I just made my own batch of body butter this week and used Orange and Lavender EO! Smells heavenly and very lovely to put on before bedtime!
This would make a great gift anytime of he year!
Ohhhh! sounds like a lovely treat! Can’t wait to try!
I just made my own body butter this week! Combined Orange and Lavender essential oils. BEST scent to rub on right before bedtime 😊.

Ooh this sounds amazing! I love body butters! I would have to mix up a few different batches but I would probably have to go with a Lady Sclareol and Copaiba batch for sure! This is one of my new favorite mixes for all things girly! It smells absolutely amazing and I constantly get compliments when I wear it but really I ♡ how it is helping me balance out like nothing ever has! II’ll forever be grateful to YL for this amazing blend of awesomeness! ♡♡♡
A few more ideas:
Peace and Calming II with Vetiver ♡

Either Lavender or Patchouli and Orange. Love those too as my cologne for the day.
I can’t wait to use this in our home-made Christmas this year! What a great gift!
Lavender and Melrose!
I would use Sacred Frankincense, Vetiver and Lavender.
I would love to try this with geranium. Maybe even make a night time one with lavender and cedar wood to rub on the bottom of my kid’s feet.
I am going to put Stress Away in my batch of body butter. That scent along with soft skin sounds like a winner to me :)
Can’t wait to give this a try. I’ll probably start with the suggested Cedarwood, Frankincense & Lavender.
I would put Thieves or stress away in mine! I love the scent of stress away!
I would use Joy, as it makes me have a great day!
Lavender and Pine!
LAVENDER & MELALEUCA
I would try adding some Panaway to get soft skin!
Love this recipe, and thankfully I have all the ingredients on hand! I think I’ll use Frankincence and some Joy in my body butter that I make. I love that combo together!
I would use lavender, stress away and lemon in mine! I just love the smell of those 3 together!

I love Bergamot in lotions and bath salts…citrusy but not too much. I’d pair it with something earthy in the body butter!
vetiver, frankinsense & lavender
Hmm…the possibilities are endless! Stress Away & Lemon, Joy & Lemon, any of the citrus for summer & a touch of Thieves.
I love to shower in the evening then smother on lavender whipped body butter as it helps to support a good night’s sleep.
My body butter recipe includes 1 cup shea butter, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1/2 cup jojoba oil whipped with electric beater – added essential oils are lavender, cedarwood, orange, tangerine, ylang ylang and patchouli.
H E A V E N L Y !!
Going to have to try this. Using peppermint and wintergreen. And or Cinnamon and clove.
Hmm…the possibilities are endless! Stress Away & Northern Lights Black Spruce, Joy & Lemon, Stress Away & Lemon, any of the citrus for summer & a touch of Thieves.
I’m excited to learn about essential oils and how they can be used as my own household and personal care products and as gifts for others. I’m glad to be able to create and gift products that can safely support my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of my family and friends.
This sounds like an easy and delicious body butter! I plan to make several to give as gifts at the holiday season, using uplifting citrus oils like lemon and tangerine! Thanks so much for the recipe.
Thank you Young Living. I so love these blogs! I will be trying Cedarwood & Frankincense.
I want to try one of each but I would start off with frankincense!
Lavender would be my choice.
Frankinsense & Orange! :)
I love citrus scents, so I’d try grapefruit or tangerine!
I would use Frankincense and ylang ylang
This sounds so good. Must try for upcoming winter season.
