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 would use Lavender or Frankincense for the skin support, but I like the smell of Christmas Spirit. Wouldn't that make a great gift?
Lavender & Northern Lights Black Spruce!!!!
Would love to try this!
I made a hand soap with Lavender and Bergamot! Can't wait to try it in the body butter!!
I would LOVE to try this with my favorite oil, Joy!
Super easy recipe! Going to start with Basil, Marjoram, and Rosemary!
I would use Lavender and Cedarwood for a night time lotion!!
Orange and Stress Away....Smells soooo yummy!
I regularly use Lavender and Frankincense. For a third oil I would use Release, Joy, or Stress Away interchangeably.
