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!

Great recipe! I am going to make it using the EO of Northern Lights Black Spruce
I’m new here and haven’t tried much yet; I”m thinking of combining lemon, grapefruit and orange for a nice citrusy cream
I haven’t recieved my kit yet but I bought Christmas spirit and I want to use that in the body butter.
I will definitely make this and one with orange and ginger!
I’m brand new to YL so haven’t tried a lot of things yet. I think I’ll make a citrus-y blend using orange, grapefruit and lemon. :)

Sandelwood so soothing after a warm bath before bed.

Love this recipe!!! I use it all the time. I learn something new everyday.
I have made this awesome lotion. It is very inexpensive to make. I am a huge diy beauty product maker! i am a newer YL distributor and learn something new everyday.
I’d love to try Manuka, Frankincense, White Angelica and possibly Juniper!
Frankincense and Lavender would make the skin super soft, but I think I would also add Jasmine for a great scent that is even more uplifting.
Rosemary, Sweet Orange, and Peppermint!
I like to put relaxing oils in my lotions since I tend to rub lotion on my hands right before bed. So I would probably use Stress Away or Lavender. Those are my two favorites anyways! 😉
I would use Joy!
I was so excited to see this YL Blog post – I plan on whipping up some body butter for both my daughter and son… and if I’m honest, I’ll be squirreling some away for their dad and me too. Thank you YL for being such a lifestyle resource for my family!

This looks easy enough. Where do I find cocoa butter?

Lavender/Patchouli/ Bergamot

Joy, cedarwood, lavendar
Cedarwood, melrose and lsvendar
Palmarosa is becoming a favorite and I look forward to trying it.
Sacred Frankincense, Lavender, & Mastrante
I love this recipe. I always tend to use citrus scents with cocoa butter. I think the orange pairs well. I am going to try Frank too.
I would use Lavender – it’s my favorite scent these days.
Orange oil and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
My favorite go to scent is peace and calming or peace and calming ll…I love that hint of patchouli, being from the 60’s and 70’s era.
I’m adding Lime and Stress Away oils to my body butter. The cocoa butter, coconut oil, Lime &blends of Stress Away make this a tropical getaway, even in the harshest of winters.
Cypress and grapefruit!!
