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'll have to try this recipe! I make a similar one but without cocoa butter. I usually use lavender and peppermint, but recently made a batch using Cinnamon and Peppermint-so yummy!
This looks amazing! I will be trying Lavender and Frankincense (smile)
Can't wait to try this. Lavender, Frankincense, Helichrysum.
I am so looking forward to trying this recipe! I love those three oils. I just made a body butter with grapefruit. I love the smell.
Young living has the best products!
I would love to win these amazing products!
I would use Joy. I love the way it smells!
I'll be making some of this SOON! Especially since it's getting drier here in Colorado :) I'm thinking of using Young Living's Manuka, Frankincense and Lavender essential oils!
I'm going to use Progessence Phyto Plus and Eucalyptus. :)
Lavender in mine!!
I like tangerine and a little peppermint to energize and smell fresh!!!
