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 common essential oils for weight maintenance and refreshing in lotion or balm are Cypress, grapefruit and orange .
All of these are amazing. I'm thinking Tea Tree would be a great one to add.
This recipe sound soft and creamy..I can't wait to try it...it will make a great gift if added to a basket with other essential oil creations...
I am going to try this with Lavender and Frankincense.
patchouli +Lavender+Cedarwood or Frankincense
Thank you for this idea! I would use Orange in one batch and Peppermint in another! :)
Frankincense and Lavender for the skin!
