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!

Frankincense, Geranium, Patchouli & Lavender. Perfect for skin support. ;)
I use lavender and tea tree for a night body butter then I use citrus fresh and peppermint for a daytime body butter.
Peppermint and Shutran definitely (not together though...lol)! For the wife maybe some Grapefruit or Orange and Frankincense!
I can't wait to try this! I would like to try this with frankincense and Christmas Spirit!
I'm new to oils. This body butter would make unique Christmas gifts, customizable to the receiver...so many possibilities to try! So far I love Frankincense and Lavender.
I love how orange smells with cocoa butter for me and cedarwood for the hubby
