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 just made a batch of body butter. I love to add cedarwood and ylang ylang at night and valor or joy during the day
Purification and Frankincense
I would add Patchouli - love the smell & it's amazing to support your skin!
I would use the melrose blend!
Can't wait to try it with Lavendar!
Lavender is my all around go-to oil. Will make several with different oils. Definitely one with Valor for my feet.
I'm hosting a Make and Take party soon and this is a recipe I'm definitely going to use in the future. Thanks for the recipe!
I would use orange and cardamom together . I had that combo in a dessert and it was yummy. I think it would be fantastic as a body butter .
