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 keep it simple and just do Lime OR Peppermint & Stress Away! <3
I love the combination of frankincense, lavender, & manuka.
I feel this would make an excellent body butter.
I would use Sacred Frankincense, Myrrh and Bergamot!

I put a drop of Thieves, orange, and cloves on cotton balls then place them strategically throughout the house. Place them so they are by moving items like doors. And extra drops on the furnace filter.

I’ve been wanting to make my own recipe for a lotion or body butter. I think lavender, frankincense and grounding would be pleasant!! Thanks for the recipe!! :-)
Hmm I love citrus scents and peppermint so probably do something with those.
Magnify Your Purpose would be great as body butter. I love the way it smells and it is one of my favorite YL blends
I would try two versions of this. One for work would have en-r-gee, joy and bergamot. Keep myself peppy for the students I teach. The other would have cedarwood and lavender to bring in rest and peace.
Cedarwood & stress away :)
My favorite is peppermint and frankincense with shea butter.
This recipe seems easy and a great gift idea for the upcoming holiday season! I will have to try this! Thanks for sharing!
Frankincense and Peppermint are my favorite for my skin care routine in shea butter
Frankincense and Orange were my first thought but I’m loving the ideas from everyone else, too!
I love tangerine and cinnamon bark in mine.
Lavender and ceaderwood are my favorites for a bedtime lotion for my kiddos. I’ve been using just coconut oil but will definitely be adding cocoa butter too!
Currently I am using a lot of Endoflex love the scent so for me it would be wonderful in a body butter.
I plan to make this using orange, cinnamon and clove.
Endless scent combo possibilities. I’m thinking Release, White Angelica, or Envision blends. Geranium, Rose, Neroli, or Jasmine would be awesome too!
I’d love to try Stress Away or White Angelica in mine!
I would definitely use lemongrass- I love it!
Just got my starter kit today :)

Tea tree and lavender.
Stress Away! I’ve made this, love it and need to get to it again for this winter. Thanks!
My first batch will be Lavender. After that, who knows. There are so many good choices.
I’d like to try citrus fresh and sage, peppermint and lemongrass, or lavender and vanilla.

White Angelica with a few drops of grapefruit.
I think Cedarwood for sure!! Maybe orange to spice things up a bit :)
Christmas Spirit & Peppermint for the Holidays!
I think I’ll try Gentle Baby and Lemon for a refreshing, smooth moisturizing combo!
Citrus fresh and peppermint would be my choice. I used them to make a room and linen spray and it smells amazing. I spray my pillow every night before I go on sleep.
