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!

Lemon and lavender is my favorite combo- just stay out of the sun 🙂
Lavender and Peppermint!!
I made this body butter for Christmas gifts and I used 2 different combos. I used orange and grapefruit in one and lavender and peppermint in the other and they were both great hits! But I prefer the lavender and peppermint combo!
Tangerine, spearmint and lavender. I made a roll on with these and love it.
I actually make this all the time but with shea instead of cocoa butter! It's divine! I add lavender and frankincense. Both for their skin supportive qualities. 😁
Grapefruit and patchouli is amazing together in it!
Vetiver, Palo Santo, tad of Jasmine or Ylang Ylang.
Frank, stress away, fav oils in a lotion!
I love frank, stress away! Those are two of my fav oils!!
