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 think I will try joy and orange! That sounds great!
I use frankincense, lavender, and melaleuca! Perfect combo.
I also like shea butter in place of the cocoa butter
Feels great
Since winter is showing us in PA just how cold it can get I'd like to try lemon, lime & tangerine for a nice refreshing spring scent to look forward to what's ahead.
Elemi and lavender will be delightful in this soothing lotion!
I love Peppermint in my Body Butter. Very uplifting and my dog loves it also!
These will be great one of kind gifts!
I love lavender an wil use my favorites lemon and citrus!!!
Frankincense, Lavender, and Sensation
Lavender is my top choice. I might try Eucalyptus. For summer, grapefruit would be nice.
