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 want to use stress away or royal hawiian sandalwood!!
Two of my favorite aromatics are lavender and bergamot, so those would be a great pairing for me in a gorgeous body butter!
I cannot wait to “whip” up a batch of this! I think I’ll use Frankincence, Lavender, and a bit of Ylang-Ylang. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
I would do Orange and Vetiver. I love the scent of both.
I make body butter all the time! I use coconut oil, shea butter, and avocado oil…and Sensation Essential Oil Blend!
So luxurious!
I love this! I’m planning on “whipping” up a couple different batches using “Stress Away”, “Lavender”, and also one with “Christmas Spirit”! Can’t wait! I usually make sugar scrubs for Christmas and this will switch things up nicely!!
Clary sage, lavender and geranium
I would do a lavender body butter to use after the bath or shower in the evening to help me unwind and relax before bed.
I think I am going to try Peace and Calming with Believe this time since I have just received Believe in this months order then also Progessence Plus.
I love lavender, frank and cedarwood, so I am going to make 3 batches! I’m having friends over to make it with me. Can’t wait!!
I would love to try either lavender or eucalyptus blue simply because I love the smells. I may have to play around with some different scent blends to see what smells the best!
Oohhh!! Jasmine and Manuka, with a bit of Frankincense!!
Frankincense with Palo Santo. So so good!
I can’t wait to try this recipe! I ❤️ Frankincense. One of my favorites.
Awesome recipe…I lost the one I had used! Love Young Living EO’s!!!!’
I would use Bergamot and Frankencense.. and THIS is a great idea for my Holiday hostess gift!!
I would add JOY! I love the way it smells and I mean we all need a little joy in our day, don’t we? :-)
Frankincense and geranium would be great choices
I just got my PSK this week and so far I love every oil I have tried! I workout 4-5 days a week so I can’t wait to make this body butter with some Peppermint and Panaway. Thank you for sharing!
I would definitely be adding Gentle Baby to this body butter recipe! It’s such a calming scent and makes my skin feel so soft!
I am going to make some of these for an upcoming make and take!! I kind of think lime and peppermint sounds lovely!!
Ylang Ylang- wonderful as it is!
Love the Whipped Body Butter and I mix in these oils: 2 drops jasmine oil, 2 drops clary sage oil, 6 drops lemon and 5 drops geranium.
Happy!

I would try a body butter made with ylang ylang- what could be better!
This sounds wonderful! I would use Stress Away and Lavender in my body butter!
This looks amazing! I am definitely going to give it a try. The first time will most likely be with lavender but I can think of so many that would be delicious! Anything citrus, or Treasure the Season!
I would use Rose with a touch of Patchouli essential oil.
I would combine Rose with a touch of Patchouli
This sounds absolutely wonderful!! I can’t wait to try it!! I’m thinking I might try any one of these oils… Melrose, Sensational, Lady Sclareol, Light the Fire, Dragon Time or even Rose!
Rose with a touch of Patchouli
I would add in Rose with a touch of Patchouli
I plan on making the lavish body butter for my elbows. They seem to be so dry and I have yet to find a lotion that really moisturizes them. I plan on using a combination of Cedarwood and Lavender. Cedarwood because I absolutely love it and Lavender because it is an excellent oil for skin support.
birch sweet and frankincense
I would love to make this with Rose, Geranium, and Frankincense!
I would try a body butter with Release essential oil blend. It really smells good and is good for releasing tension and negative emotions at the end of the day.
I think I will try the Young Living Melrose blend. Thanks for the recipe!
I would add peace and Calming and use it on my kids at night!!
I love the cedarwood, frakincense, and the lavender but also i add 5 drops of the lemon to help brighten my skin. These Young Living essential oils leaves my skin so soft and supple and the fragrance is heavenly!
Entering! Thank you (:
I use Frankincense, Lavender, and Orange…yum!
the fragrance is heavenly!
I would do lavender and lemongrass. Love the combo in the bath.
That looks so amazing. I love body butter and this time of year when the air is cooler and dry it is amazing. I would put Patchouli in it. Patchouli is my go to fragrance. I get so many compliments when I wear it and it lingers longer than any other oil I use. My husband loves it too so that makes it special.
Lady Sclaradol and Ylang Ylang
I love Lavender, Patchouli and Jasmine.
