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'm going to try this for my husband. I rub lotion into his back every day, sometimes more than once. I might try cedar wood, lemon, and frank in the body butter.
Peppermint for sure! It goes great with the natural "chocolaty" smell of the cocoa butter!
I'm going to use peppermint and lavender! Thanks for sharing! :)
I made some the other day with orange and lavender!!! Smells amazing!!
Ylang Ylang and Lemongrass
I love everything Frankincense and Royal Hawian Sandlewood hmmmm
I would try cedarwood, sandalwood, ylang ylang, and just 10 Drops of Rose. I cannot wait to try this!! And I hope this inspires others to experiment with this Amazing Body Butter Recipe.
I think a few drops of Rose oil would be heavenly!
I think I will try a couple different batches. My daughter loves lavender and I would like to try peace and calm I'll try to let you know how I like them. Thanks for the recipe and usage knowledge.
This is lovely. I am passionate about all things EO and love DIY.
I would try Frank, citrus Fresh and Geranium.
