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!

Definitely a must try for winter skin!
Definitely Stress Away and Lavender for a bedtime body butter!
what more could anyone want.
Great recipe! I would add a few drops of lavender, frankincense, and myrrh. Three great oils to help support skin and I love their fragrance!
Bergamot, ylang ylang, and elemi!
Frankincense and purification are in my skin care roller so I'd probably try those out in this body butter too!
Several oils come to mind! Motivation, Envision or Abundance for anytime and Christmas Spirit for Christmas time!
I love to make my own bath salts and other products with Young Living essential oils!
Thank you so much for the recipe!! I am already looking for the cocoa butter so that I can make this at home! I LOVE peppermint, so I will try that.
I just made some last weekend, I used black pepper, abundance and frankincense.
