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 make Lavender body lotion before but I did not whip it I will be trying this soon I give homemade Christmas gifts infused with essential oils and this will be perfect.

I never thought to try Frankincense in a body butter. Can’t wait to try.
I would love to try this with lavender, and maybe some Ylang Ylang. :)
Lavender and Frank are a winning combination!
Frankinscense, manuka, carrot seed, Melrose, lavender, ylang ylang. geranium.

I LOVE the smell of Ylang Ylang!
I would choose lemon, lavender, and peppermint to help support overall health or Joy to start the day.
I will either try Patchouli as I love its scent when I diffuse it in my home. It reminds me of my Grandmother’s home when I was a little girl.
I love cedar wood and lavender in mine!
I would like to try making this with lavender, myrrh and frankincense.
Frankincense with Stress Away sounds lovely!
I LOVE this body butter!!!! I just made a new batch for myself for winter. I did my summer one with YL Melrose blend. Happy and outdoorsy. My winter one I just did with Abundance Blend. I love the warm slightly spiciness and all the benefits of this blend. My Crown Diamond Danette Goodyear first introduced my to Abundance at a class she held, and from there it has infused so many areas of my life.
Some Frankincense with Stress Away!
I can’t wait to make this and add my fave oil Stress Away!
I have been using the coconut oil and frankincense mixture for my face. Will have to try this out. Would you use it on your face also with the cocoa butter? And never knew to mix it with a blender. Might have to try the Peppermint Oil with it.
I love to mix together lavender, rosemary, and peppermint, that mixture makes my skin feel amazing.
Ooooh, so many oils to choose from…I guess the same oils I use in my face serum. Lavender, Geranium, Frankincense, Myrrh, Helichrysuml and Bergamot!
YL, You never cease to amaze me with your giving and generosity! Thank you for such an amazing giveaway! I currently use the Sandalwood moisturizer and add a couple drops of Frankincense! I love the body butter recipe and can’t wait to try it! Thanks!
I am going to try Frankincense and Cedarwood! Maybe I’ll add a little orange also.
I love adding peppermint e.o. for the holidays! Makes a great gift! :) I think I may try stress away too, I bet it would smell wonderful!!

Grapefruit and Stress Away for sure!
Ylang Ylang + Citrus combined – calming. Might even add some Valor for added support.

I think I am going to try stress away! After a long hard day teaching I come home and change clothes an I could use some body butter with the awesome smell of stress away!
I’m fairly new to essential oils. My favorite oil so far is grapefruit. I would love to try a body butter with grapefruit, lemon, lavender, and peppermint! Very refreshing smell to start off the day.
I would make a body butter with Patchouli. I love the fragrance and it lingers on my skin a lot longer than anything else I have used. It’s my go to fragrance.
I would use Clove, Orange and Cinnamon….true fall scents!
Geranium/cedarwood – makes a lovely, fresh scent and supports the skin!
Lavender would be wonderful as well as stress away
I would add lavender and lemongrass. I looove that combination right now!
Hmm, maybe Thieves and orange for the winter season!
I love Melrose, Lavender and a little bit of peppermint.
I love EOs in skincare products.
