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 like to Try Manuka in a body butter. Love my YL and can't wait for what will come next!
LEMONGRASS!!!!!!! If I have to pick 1 this one is my favorite. I love the happy mood it puts me in.
I think orange would go well with the cocoa. Would be so cool to win!
Would love to win.
I can't wait to whip this one up!!! Thanks for sharing this simple recipe!

Pick me, I love it
I Love Citrus Flavors so I will try adding my Citrus Fresh. I would also love to try one with Peppermint and Eucalyptus Globulus.
I have used Lavender and stress away in my body butters.
