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 just learned about you & am so excited to learn about & start using essential oils! I like your recipe; I might try Frankincense, lavender & vetiver! That might change as I learn more! Two of your distributors did a class last night at church; watched the video “Ancient Secrets of Essential Oils”; amazing teaching! Then they shared their knowledge & gave out prizes; I won a steel roller ball top vial full of lavender & veviter she named “Sleepytime”; I’m loving it, & plan to purchase a starter kit as soon as finances allow!
Can’t wait to try this…sounds very soothing.
I would like Helichrysum Frankincense and Lavender.
Would try this with Northern Lights Black Spruce and Forgiveness – how divine.
Stress Away or Abundance with Lavender or also with Winter months Coming up Thieves and Cinnamon smell amazing together.

The recipients loved it and I continue to receive requests to make them more!
I would use frankincense, myrrh and Rose. I know riser is expensive but I think we’re are worth it. I may drop a little geranium in as well. That is my favorite by far!
I have been wanting to make a lotion with Peace and Calming so that I can apply after my shower, before bed and inhale that all night long.
Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe! I am going to make it later today and can’t wait! Those 3 oils are incredible ones and couldn’t think of better ones to make it with!

Since this body butter recipe calls for cocoa butter, I would choose orange or peppermint because they are delish with the scent of cococa. :)
I’m excited to try this! I was looking for a way to make a facial cream with my new Young Living Essental Oils to help with my aging dried up skin.
