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've made a whipped body butter similar to this one.
I had Shea butter, almond oil, used cedarwood, frankincense and lavender. I made it especially for my daughters. I took it with me when I went over to my parents and shared. I'm trying to make believers out of them ...te he he he.
I would use peace and calming and gentle baby :)
Cedarwood and Ylang Ylang
I will be using Frankincense and Orange and then sharing with friends and family!
I would try peppermint and spearmint
Mmm, I'd like to try this with lavender, Stress Away, lemon and Purification. I've only added the coconut oil before, but I bet it's even better with cocoa butter!
I would use spearmint and eucalyptus globulus
Frankincense and Lavender!
I love to add Frankincense and manuka and 1 drop of rose EO to my homemade body butter!
So excited about this recipe! Will be making this for my sister-in-law for her Christmas present!
(And some for myself too!)
