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 have added dragon time and lavender to my body butter !
I would use Christmas Spirit and Frankensence for a Holiday butter.
What a great recipe! I will try it with Elemi or with Ylang Ylang!
I would use Grapefruit!
Great recipe & thanks for the contest. I would use Geranium & Bergamot in my first body butter.
I'm mixing up my first batch this weekend with frankincense and lavender! Cant wait to try it!
Peppermint & Tangerine
I would like to try clove and orange.
Thank you for the recipe. I would use Cedarwood and Patchouli in mine.
