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!

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!
