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!

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.
I would use cedarwood and lavender in mine. I can't wait to try it!
Can't wait to try this!
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.
I am going to make it with Believe... That is my jam right now!
