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!

Hi! Palo Santo makes for a great addition to body butter.
I would love frank, orange, and joy.
I will be making this and giving them away as Christmas presents. Thank you.
I would love to try the combination that you've recommended for this Recipe! I've never made my own Body Butter ......but it sounds wonderful!
Can wait to try it! My choice is lemongrass and peppermint!
I have two favorite oil panels:
1. helichrysum, sandalwood, myrrh
2. patchouli, jasmine, tangerine, frankincense, rosewood and Idaho balsam fir
I would you exactly what you have in this recipe! Lavender, cedarwood and frankincense is one of my favorite combinations. Miracle blend!!
I am going to try Myrrh, Frankincence, & Ylang Ylang
Love this simple recipe. I would add tea tree and geranium.
