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!
I’d love to try this with bergamot and patchouli or a lavender and lemon combo! I had lavender vitality lemonade recently and went wild over it. Can’t wait to try this recipe!

I invited a few ladies over to make some body butter and lip balm. This was a first.
We used Frankincense and Lavender.
They could not believe I used my Frankincense! My daughter raved about the lip balm! She loves it! The four ladies who came had so much fun as did I.
Definitely, Frankincenses, Myrrh and probably Cedarwood. I appreciate the recipe and all the posts.
Lavender and stress away. It smells like pina colada. It’s so heavenly!!

Hopefully, I can try the Shutran products. I bet it would make a difference using as a body butter.
