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 think I would use Joy and Stress Away!
I think the possibilities are endless. I can't wait for my kit. I am looking forward to the peppermint and lavender. I know with more knowledge I will have everyone I know buttered up.
Rosemary, Lavender, and Joy!! - great refreshing smells all day long that make you feel great and smell amazing!!
I would love to try several. I am new and waiting for my kit. I am thinking about Peppermint a lot and I know Lavender will be wonderful. I am anxious to get in there and try the ones I am not so familiar with. I will have everyone I know oiled up before long. Orange is going to be a must.
I think I would use peppermint or lavender. I think they are both soothing to me. Peppermint just fresh breathing. Lavender for the calming qualities. I think there are several more I will try once I get in there and learn about my oils.
Lavender and frankincense makes my skin feel great
I will be whipping this up with some Frankincense. This will also make a nice Hosts gift.
Lavender and Orange!
I would use lime!
I love love love making my home made body butter with blends of Young Living essential oils, pure organic shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E. I am an Esthetician in sunny San Diego and I have shared my love for essential oils and natural body products to all of my clients.
