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 would like to try this recipe with Frankincense, Geranium and Lavender.
Oh, thanks! I will try Thieves and RC for my family this winter.
I tried Lavender and Peppermint and it smelled really good!
Patchouli and sandalwood are a lovely combo, very earthy.
I would love Frankincense and Myrrh in mine (and, of course, to share with others)!
So many oils, so little time! I would use a combination of Lavender and Rosemary with a additional drop of lemon for freshness (probably 2:1 Lavender:Rosemary).
The combination of Stress Away, Thieves, and Lavender are an awesome combination!
Stress Away or Panaway
What a great recipe! Love the Diy and videos!
I would love to do Frankincense & Gentle Baby for face & a lemongrass & cypress body butter.
