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!
Peppermint for the holidays. Otherwise Lavender and maybe some Lemon.

I LOVE YL EO’s… ALL of them!!!
You posted my favorite, but also to give a little invigorating tingle, add some Peppermint either during the summer for cool and refreshing feeling, or during the winter cold season months, Thieves and Peppermint!!!
Grapefruit or something citrus – Love the invigorating smells if all the citrus oils.
I have made this body butter and it is fabulous I want to try using vetiver frankincense and lavender next time I make it! Love making DIY with YL oils always no worries about ANY toxins!!!
I would like to be entered in the drawing.
My favoritee oil to try is Purification. Or Thieves:)
For a general one I would probably just use Lavander. :)
I’d think I’ll try this with Lavender!
I would try Gernamium and Lavender.
Lavender & Peppermint
Orange & Cinnamon

I love making my own Whipped Body Butter! One of my favorite Essential Oils to add in is Young Living’s Frankincense!
I guess I would try Stress Away in my body Butter. Thanks for sharing
I Love Lavender and Frankincense and both oils support your skin.
Thinking I will do Ylang Ylang or Stressaway or maybe a batch of each.
I’m thinking of trying lavender for a nice bedtime lotion!
I would love for my Hubs to win the shave oil and shave cream!

My dream body butter would have Frankincense, Myrrh and Rose essential oils. However based on what I have available, I plan to try this body butter recipe with Frankincense, Myrrh and Palmarosa.
The essential oils I would use would be lavender (my favorite), geranium and frankincense. So good for my very sensitive skin.
I have been using Young Living Essential Oils since May 2016, my whole life and family life have changed. We use everything that is wholistic or natural from head to toe. Thank you Young Living.
I have put Melrose in my body butter before and have loved it!
Frankincense and Geranium are the first to come to mind.
I would try frankincense , rosemary and geranium:)
Geranium, Frankincense…those are the first 2 that come to mind.
Peppermint for a bit of zing, maybe some ylang ylang for sweetness. But certainly lavender and frank. :)
I’d definitely want to try it with my lavender essential oil, which I’ve found out is my favorite. I’d like to try it with a citrus one too for a nice refreshing smell.
When my wife makes chapstick she use lavender, chamomile, and geranium.
Lavender, Frankincense and Purification. I love the smell of Purification!
I have made a similar recipient using all natural organic undefined Shea butter. I can’t wait to try this recipe and compare the two!!! Thanks for sharing :)
I would love spearmint and tangerines. That is my favorites to diffuse. Makes me happy.
I love peppermint and citrus oils together!
This looks awesome! I can’t wait to try it <3
Definitely Ylang Ylang.
This sounds fantastic! I would love to try it with the frankincense for sure! I don’t have cedar wood yet so that would have to wait!
