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 would love to use lemon and lavender
Peppermint would be so festive and yummy with the cocoa butter!
I would love to make this with Young Living Lavender and Rosemary essential oils. My skin would smell like the spa!
Stres away!
I love melrose in my body butter !
Peppermint sounds heavenly and festive!
I will try this DIY with Geranium, Lavender and cedarwood! Thank you for the contest!!!
Lavender and Cedarwood
I’d use lavender and gentle baby. My favorite combination!
This a Wonderful IDEA! Thank you YL!
Our 5-year old, who is already a BIG FAN of EO scented Body lotions and such, is going to be a huge help in choosing the right scent I BELIEVE! Should you choose our comment we will be even more elevated! YL EO Rule!
I love lavender and frankincense! In the spring/summer I like to add grapefruit for a fun citrus aroma. In the fall/winter I like to add Cedarwood (just like the recipe) for a warm, inviting aroma.
This looks luscious! I can’t wait to try it! Super easy too!!!
I will make this using Abundance and Joy. They go well together and is such an uplifting combo!
This sounds great, I can’t wait to try it!
I love when orange and ginger are brought together, so I def would make a body butter with those two to apply in the morning after a shower.
Joy, peppermint or wintergreen
Oh this sounds great! I have all the ingredients in my cupboard so I will have to give this a try. I think I’m going to use Gentle Baby essential oil in mine.
This sounds fantastic! I absolutely love Stress Away, so I would make a Stress Away batch with a little bit of Citrus Fresh to remind me of summer when it starts getting cold outside!
Joy and frankincense!
Definitely will have to try that!
Frankincense!
I would use just lavender, I love it so much.
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!

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.
I will add Peppermint
Oh my goodness I love stress away body butter!!!!!
I might use panaway for the added benefit of soothing tired muscles. Or Joy. A simple mix would be geranium & lemon.
I love the combo of lavender, Cedarwood and eucalyptus!
I would use Frankincense of course. I would use Jasmine and Sandalwood too.
I will be making body butter using lavender and peppermint. Love how it smells!
Frankincense & Lime!
Is it possible to use Shea Butter instead of Cocoa Butter? I’m not sure what the benefits are. Thank you for all these amazing contests, and applicable DIY ideas!
Frankincense
For healthy aging skin support, I will try Frankincense, ylang ylang, and myrrh!
I will add frankincense……its my favorite oil for my skin.
