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!

My dream body butter recipe would include Frankincense, Myrrh and Rose essential oils. However, based on what I have available, I plan to try this body butter recipe using Frankincense, Myrrh and Palmarosa essential oils. Yum!
I will try Frankincense and Stress Away in this recipe! Frankincense for my skin support and stress away for emotional support. Now I can't wait to try this, thanks for the recipe!
I'd add patchouli, frank and maybe some lavender too :)
I love to make body butter for the little ones with Gentle Baby and Lavender!
Thank you! This is an amazing gift for Christmas! I'm gonna try it out :)
I'd love to add Frankincense, Myhrr, Elemi and Ylang-Ylang.
I am having so much fun learning how to use my young living oils for my skin. I can't wait to try this receipt. I would be so humbled to be the lucky winner.
Stress away of course!!!
I would love to try these products. I ha e yet to use some of them yet.
I personally love the refreshing essential oils of lavender, rosemary and peppermint when it comes to using them to support my skincare routine.
