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!
Gentle Baby and Frankincense
Love to use this at night so Gentle Baby and Frankincense
I would love to try using Joy, which is my favorite.
Lavender, Frankincense, Geranium, Lemon
This looks like a great recipe! The oils of choice fro me to mix with this whipped Body Butter would be Cypress,Idaho Balsam Fir,Frankinsence and Copiaba. These make a great blend!
Frankincense and Lavendar
I can’t wait to try this! I think I will try using Christmas Spirit. It’s my favorite bath time oil so it seems like a natural pick for my first batch of body butter.

I have to try this, immediately!! I absolutely looooove body butter! I am definitely going to try this with Release and Lavender!! Maybe throw in a few drops of frankincense just for good measure :)
When sharing YL oils with friends we sampled abundance and then White Angelica. The smell was glorious and oh my what a wonderful body butter this would be.
I would try lavendar, cedarwood and frank first. Seems I use lavender and cedarwood in everything. I need to start buying it by the 5 gallon bucket!
Peace and Calming
Use in Morning: Body Butter recipe: Valor (courage) and Build Your Dream for Positive energy, focus, SKIN health and vitality.
Use At Bedtime: Body Butter recipe: Dream Catcher to visualize my dreams until they r reality, and Gathering to help bring Physical, Emotional and Spiritual feelings together for greater focus and Clarity.
And use my “Oily” body butter both morning and night for aromas to sustain a more balanced frequency; physically, Emotionally and Spiritually!
Just signed up and this looks amazing. I will be making some body Butter soon. Thanks
I would do Ylang ylang, frank and sandalwood
The above recipe sounds awesome. I would use Orange and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
Lavender…. I love the smell of coconut oil mixed with lavender.
Lavender
Just bought all the supplies can’t wait to make it!
Hands down, I would definitely have to add Gentle Baby to mine. I love how the oil blend smells, but even more, I love what great things it has done for my complexion. I’ve learned that Gentle Baby is not just for babies!
Frankincense, Geranium and Ylang Ylang
I would love to try this recipe with Frankincense, Geranium and Lavender.

Oh, thanks! I will try Thieves and RC for my family this winter.
I tried Lavender and Peppermint and it smelled really good!
Patchouli and sandalwood are a lovely combo, very earthy.
I would love Frankincense and Myrrh in mine (and, of course, to share with others)!
So many oils, so little time! I would use a combination of Lavender and Rosemary with a additional drop of lemon for freshness (probably 2:1 Lavender:Rosemary).
The combination of Stress Away, Thieves, and Lavender are an awesome combination!
Stress Away or Panaway
What a great recipe! Love the Diy and videos!
I would love to do Frankincense & Gentle Baby for face & a lemongrass & cypress body butter.
I look forward to trying this with Bergamot and ylang ylang.

I will try this recipe. I use coco butter and coconut oil separator already. It never occurred to me to mix them together. Then add a essential oil. Oh which one to try? Better make small batches for many uses!
This Body Butter seems amazing!!
I think I’d like to try Northern lights with frankincense and myrrh .
Stress away and Lavender would be wonderful!
Lots of great suggestions!! I’d like to try several.
Thank You for sharing this recipe. I’m new to oils and excited to try new ways to use them. I would love to try Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood essential oil in this recipe as I sure do love the Sandalwood moisture cream.
Looks like something great for Christmas presents.
Can’t wait to try this! I will be putting in Stress Away and Lavender- those are my two favorite ones. I may also just do a small batch with Peace & Calming.
