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 LOVE homemade body butters with YL EOs. Made a bunch of different ones as Christmas gifts last year. <3
I made three different batches of body butters last year to give as Christmas gifts. One was lavender and lemon, one was Christmas Spirit and the last was Stress Away. They got rave reviews from the people who received them. Thank you Young Living for helping us to share Young Living with people we love. <3
I'm thinking sensation would be a great essential oil for a body Butter recipe!
So many choices...I think the first would be something with lavender or lemon or possibly peppermint and vanilla for Christmas.
ledum and grapefruit
I plan to use Frankincense and Cedarwood for my fiance.
Gentle Baby and Lavender. Thank you for all the great ideas!
Geranium and Lavender!
I would like to try eucalyptus and spearmint for a refreshing blend!
I'd love to try this with bergamot and patchouli or a lavender and lemon combo! I had lavender vitality lemonade recently and went wild over it. Can't wait to try this recipe!
