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!

Vetiver+Lavender+Cedarwood or Frankincense would be my choice
I enjoy the uplifting scents of citrus after my morning shower. I use vanilla, tangerine, orange and lemon in my body butter.
I probably have 15 bottles of body creme in my cupboard. We have extremely hard water and I shower frequently because of the humidity here. This recipe works !!! I also smells delicious
Love the recipe thank you for sharing
Wow Thank you so much for this recipe. I am new to using oils and was looking for this.
I'll try Palo Santo, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Myrrh and Northern Lights Black Spruce Essential Oils in this recipe for skin support. Shutran would be a great one to add as well!
I love essential oil body butter!! I look forward to making some to give away for Christmas!! I love the scent that you have chosen. For spring, I would do Joy plus Orange for a light floral scent. For Christmas, I might try Christmas Spirit and Pine. So many options to choose from!!
Orange and peace and calming for a night time body butter.
Oh this sounds so easy and lubricating. I think I will make my first batch with yling ylang oil or maybe jade lemon.yummy. Oh please pick me random picker!
I just got royal Hawaiian sandalwood for the first time and absolutely LOVE the scent! I'm going to try adding Sandalwood!
