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’m thinking Lavender and Frankincense and Joy
I bought cocoa butter (and other oils) to make lotions, but noticed the cocoa butter has a strong chocolate scent. Before I use it in a recipe does anyone know if the scent interferes with those of the EO’s I want to use? I really don’t want to smell like a Hershey bar!
I’m so wondering this also – don’t want candy bar smell in my body butter!
I would use Lavendar, frankincense and purification
I totally love in my body cream Frankincense, Lavender, Geranium, Patchouli, and Myrrh! I have made it for some of my team members and they have had such great testimonies because of it! Its my number one go to day and night! Thanks Young Living!!!
Lavender and joy would be awesome

Lavender
We love our homemade body butters and moisturizers (even deoderant)… Using all our Young Living oils to make our personalized favorite scents. Citrus body butters, frankincense, myrrh and lavender facial moisturizer, and tea tree, purification, and lemon deodorant are some of our favorites!
I would use Lemon and Eucalyptus Globulus in the body lotion. The combination supports body, mind and spirit. What a wonderful way to start the day!
I will use Gentle Baby, because I am expecting a baby. With one of my other babies I used Gentle Baby on my belly, and after she was born, She loved it! It also supports healthy skin. :)
I would like to try peppermint or orange. Or maybe both together!
I’m thinking Basil would be best.
