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!

Christmas Spirit. . . year round!
I make several different kinds. I love to use joy and valor in my daytime lotion. Makes for a happy start of the day
For evening I like to use lavender and peace and calming. Just got tranquil so may have to try that for a bedtime one.
I would have to mix a few scents. I love Cedarwood veiter & lavender to support focus & attention or possibly a citrus or the Christmas blend but would want something more calming for at night like lavender & peace & calming with a little spearmint. I could really use this!!!
Sandalwood and patchouli for me
Perfect timing in winter. My preference is lavender, frankincense and patchouli
Lavender and peppermint my two all time favorites for any spa treatment!
I will put in my body butter combination of Frankincence, Gerainum, Myrrh, Grapefruit, & Ylang Ylang. Sometimes I change by adding Lavender or Melrose.
Cedarwood for sure! It's so soft and warm and woodsy smelling!
This sounds great! I am off to find cocoa butter!
Thank you for the recipe!! I'm making it today! I'll make a Gentle Baby for my boys and a Lemongrass for myself!
