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!
Carrot seed EO and Frankincense EO
Great recipe! My body butter mixture would be Lavender, Tea Tree, Patchouli, Frankincense and Orange. Delightful smell and soothing!
How wonderful, thank you for that easy recipe. I am planning a Make&Take Party right now and use normally a lot of Coconut oil that I mix with Avocado oil and skin related Essential oils. Wonderful.
I could imagine to use it with “the girls scents” like Jasmine, Geranium, frankincense maybe a drop of Manuka or carrot seed. Or lavender, cedarwood frankincense and myrrh. Hmmm, I will experiment here, how fun. Thank you!
I would try adding Helichrysum!
I love this recipe and use it every morning and night. I use Frankincense, myrrh, and copaiba essential oils. All wonderful
I’m really loving the lime bergamot combo. Refreshingly clean smell for after the shower and to get the day going.
Why not try some Panyaway
I would make it plain and then add whatever oil I fancied at the time to some of the cream in my hands when I put it on.
I will make this with Lavender :)
Abundance- to have an abundance of energy to start the day.
Sensation or Awaken Would be amazing oils to add in!! Can’t wait to make this😊
What a great giveaway! Fingers crossed on this one!!!
I’m going to have to make this.
love to learn about young living oils
I plan to use stress away and lavender in this recipe. I will be giving this vacation in a bottle, lotion to my family members for Christmas!
Lemon, Lavender and Lime!
I love peppermint and rosemary in my body butter. It is so rejuvenating when I apply it to the soles of my feet after a long day in heels!
Lavender, Frankincense and Melrose are what I use in my body butter. I think Bergamot would be great too…have to try that next time :)
I can’t wait to make this fabulous butter. So many oils to choose from!! I think I will start with Egyptian Gold. I just love that mixture of oils.
I’m excited to try this recipe! I think citrus oils/blends would smell amazingand be an uplifting way to start the day! Maybe Bergamot, Citrus Fresh, or Grapefruit.
Geranium is my choice. Love the scent and it is great for supporting the skin
I would for sure put Frankincense in the batch because I’m obsessed with the smell of it. Another oil that I love and use as my perfume very regularly is Northern Lights Black Spruce, especially during this time of the year when the Holiday’s are coming! Just talking about it makes me want to go make it and even give it as Holiday gifts for friends and family!
Geranium Essential Oil has a very nice aroma. I would add Geranium Essential Oil.
Coconut oil and Coco Butter are very good moisturizers. I look forward to trying the recipe!
I like Cedarwood, Lavender, and Frankincense.This 3 oil is my favored oils,I use this as my personal Massage oils.
thanks for this recepte.

I would add orange as it’s my favorite fragrance, probably some stress away as well!
Mmmm…. orange for me, it’s such a happy fragrance! Possibly stress away as well.
Abundance and joy
Acceptance and joy is my secret blend of lotion
Oh I love peppermint, lavendar and Peppermint would be nice. Just makes me wake up and feel refreshed. Orange works well too.
I love this! I usually make my lotion with Shea butter, but the cocoa butter would already lend it a sweet chocolatey smell. I guess to match that I would have to choose something decadent like ginger or Jasmine. I think Jasmine would be better for the skin, though. :-)
I would use also Gentle Baby, Lavender and Rose oils. I think these will make a gentle fragrance and it will be so soothing to the skin. It would be very calming and peaceful too!!
I just received cedarwood. I thought making a cream for my husband to put on would be perfect. Thanks young living!
Can’t wIt to make this , i will probably use lavender and stress away combo.. my faves💕
Loving this recipe, quick, easy, and awesome! My two favorite : patchouli & bergamot and patchouli & frankincense!
Thanks for the recipe.
I made my home body cream with organic coconut oil, shea butter. I blended both with a wooden spoon without any heat and then added my favourite skin oils. These are:
Patchouli, lavender, frankincense, jasmine, geranium, ylang ylang and cederwood.
It now by body and hand cream. Thks for the sharing on this blog.
I would like to try lavender and peppermint.
This looks like a simple recipe, compared to the one I used for a make and take party I hosted. I think I’ll make a batch for my husband using the Bergamot I recently received!
I would add oils Purification and Frankincense.
I like to use coconut oil and grapeseed oil with frankincense, myrrh, and hyssop for supporting my skin. I love using Young Living essential oils and products!
I would use lavender and Frankincense.
Sounds like a great recipe 😉
This is a simple & fantastic recipe! What brand of cocoa butter do you recommend?
I would definetly do a frank and orange body butter as i love to put lotion on during my nightly routine before bed!!
I would love to try this combination.
Sacred frankincense, lavender, and chamomile would be my choice
Stress Away would be amazing in this – the scent is lovely
I would use a combination of Patchouli and Orange, my two favorite oils together.
I want to try it with Helichrysum.
Love body butters! I want to make this with Frankinsence and geranium or a batch with Jasmine. Talk about making you skin smell great!
I love “Essential Beauty Serum” for my face. I would put it in body butter also! Smells great
I would use Egyptian Gold because my wife and daughter loves the smell.
Vetiver+Lavender+Cedarwood or Frankincense
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks
I use a lavender, peppermint and frankincense in my body butter and love how it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth
*Lemon, tea tree, Lavender
*citrus fresh
*stress away and orange
*lemongrass
Wow, these are great ideas…Thank you!
Because I would be using in the morning, I would use something that is my focus for the day: Abundance, Live Your Passion, Joy, Believe, White Angelica, Valor and Peace & Calming would be some of my choices.
I love lavender and frankincense in this body butter. And the body butter is marvelous. Shirleen
I’ve used both of these in a face cream and love it! Gonna try this recipe as I lost the one I had been using!
I’m going to use Geranium, Joy and Stress Away!
I’d like to try some frankincense, orange and geranium
I already love using Frankincense and Lavender in my skin care routine so I’ll definitely be trying a batch of body butter with these oils!!
