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!
Stress away and cederwood.
I’ve made a whipped body butter similar to this one.
I had Shea butter, almond oil, used cedarwood, frankincense and lavender. I made it especially for my daughters. I took it with me when I went over to my parents and shared. I’m trying to make believers out of them …te he he he.
I would use peace and calming and gentle baby :)
Cedarwood and Ylang Ylang
I will be using Frankincense and Orange and then sharing with friends and family!
I would try peppermint and spearmint
Mmm, I’d like to try this with lavender, Stress Away, lemon and Purification. I’ve only added the coconut oil before, but I bet it’s even better with cocoa butter!
I would use spearmint and eucalyptus globulus
Frankincense and Lavender!
I love to add Frankincense and manuka and 1 drop of rose EO to my homemade body butter!
So excited about this recipe! Will be making this for my sister-in-law for her Christmas present!
(And some for myself too!)
I think Bergamot and Lime would be delicious!
Geranium and Patchouli would be great! And what an awesome idea for Xmas gifts :)
I would use YL Peppermint EO and give it as a Christmas gift! Love the smell of Peppermint & Cocoa together!
Orange and peppermint… good morning

Christmas Spirit! Perfect timing for holiday gifts :)
For spring, I would use Joy and Orange for a nice floral scent. For the winter, maybe Christmas Spirit. SO many possibilities!! Really love the Lavender, Frankincense, and Cedarwood combo!!
Would make a dreamy mix of Lavendar, Cedarwood, Vetiver, and Frankincense!
Frankincense and cedarwood
I am new to YL. Thanks for sharing! I’m definitely going to make this butter.
I love to put Vetiver and Valor to support balance and grounding, along with Frankincense and Lavender.

Lemon, Orange, and Bergamot or Orange and Peppermint would be lovely!
I’d do Frankincense and Purification.
Believe, Geranium, Lime, and Blue Cypress 😍
I am using cedarwood, orange and frankincense. I love diffusing cedarwwod and orange at night. And it is a no brainer to add frakincense.
Frankincense and lavender would be my choice

Hi,
I used to buy body butter from a brand on HSN. It was expensive and I didn’t know what was in it. I always wanted to make my own, but didn’t know what essential oils to buy.
I am a member and buy kits mostly for my family and myself, and as gifts to close friends.
I am slowly learning about the great benefits of YLEO.
I would try LEMON & LAVENDER mixed together. I love that smell.
I go to the gym and made this body butter to use it as a skin softer! It has been fantastic!! Going to make more for my seven daughter’s!! Put oregano lavender frankincense!! WONDERFUL!!
