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 choose to add Lemon and Peppermint. Love it ❤
Lavender for the evening and citrus for the morning.
I would use frankincense! Can’t wait to try this out!
Stress Away. I always put coconut oil mixed with a drop of Stress Away on my hands at night – this body butter recipe sure sounds amazing!
I also LOVE the combination of Ylan Ylang, Orange, and Cedarwood essential oils.
I would try Frankincense, Melrose or Citrus
I love the combination above but I would probably add patchouli and Stress Away. I love the smell of both and will benefit skin and emotional balance!! Making some soon😀
Love this recipe! Can’t ever go wrong with lavender, frankincense and cedar wood, but I’d probably go with Joy & Orange or Grapefruit. Might even add a little bergamot in there.
Sounds good!
Trying it with lavender, tea tree, and Frankincense.
Thinking about bergamot and geranium or lime and citrus fresh
Can’t wait to try this with my favorite combo to support my skin – tea tree, Lavender, and Frankincense!
This looks wonderful! What a lovely gift to win.

I used Jasmine and Peace and Calming in this recipe. I’m in love. Now my diffuser necklace matches my lotion double whammy couldn’t get any better. It’s like my own little chill pill with my own personal favorite scent that I feel empowers me. Thank You for this lovely recipe. so simple yet so wonderful.
A mix of Orange, Tangerine, & Peppermint!
Ooooh!! Sounds so nice. I would love a nighttime body butter made of lavender and chamomile to slather on after a nice shower and help me sleep!
I’ going to try this with lemon and lavender. I think citrus fresh would work well too because it is so uplifting.
Lavender, Frankincense, Myrrh
Now that the sun is less intense and I am inside more often, I LOVE to use bergamot. It helps to lift my spirits and my skin is amazingly smooth!!
Orange and Cedarwood! My hubbies fav. Love this recipe… Thank you!
I have helichrysum and Geranium in mine
Although I normally stick with lavender and frankincense in my homemade creams for their amazing skin support, I would love to try this recipe with a blend of ylang ylang, grapefruit and sandalwood essential oils for a tantalizing scent.
