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!

Frankenscense, Bergamot, Lavender and Carrot Seed!
I would love to try Patchouli and Lemon mixed together!! Those are some of my favorite!
Motivation! Love the recipe!
I've used orange and vanilla to create a wonderful orange creamsicle scent. A beautiful floral mix is ylang ylang and geranium. A favorite for nighttime is lavender and peace & calming!
I love Ylang Ylang, so I might try that along with the oils suggested!
Lemon and Ylang Ylang Thank you
I will try orange & lavender! Can't wait.
I love body butter and will use lavender and tea tree, or lavender and carrot seed.
Thank you for the ideas!
