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 plan on using that exact combo! Also another with grapefruit!
Excited to try this! Thanks for sharing.
I would try one of these: Rose, Gardenia or Almond essential oil.
This recipe is amazing
I love the lavander!! That will definitely go in mine.
I will make exactly that combination: Frankincense-love that on my skin! Cedarwood- it's great with Frank, & Lavender-also great for skin, & balances out the woodsy aroma with a floral note!
Valor is my next butter.
That sounds wonderful. I'm not good at mixing scents so you think valor alone or with another oil and if so what? Sorry for long question, I just thought this was brilliant.
Love homemade body butter. Will try this recipe next.
My Sister and I are crafty witches lol however new to it all. I love this it is so simple yet rewarding , cannot wait to try this one !!
