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!

Im going to try orange and lime
I would mix pan away and wintergreen for my husbands works outs.
I hope to win!
I am off to by cocoa butter. Waiting on my Frank to arrive.
I've actually used Shea butter in place of the cocoa butter, it works the same, but the cocoa butter definitely adds a yummy smell!
I would love to try Lavender, tea tree
Christmas is fast approaching and I have a batch for my daughter-in-laws with Frankincense and Lavendar.
I would try Lavender and geranium, Mayen even white Angelica or envision
