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 make my body butter with coconut oil, cocoa butter and peppermint, for a revitalizing, energy boosting cream to start your day, or to refresh you after a hard day's work.
I love purification mixed with lavender 💜! Simply amazing and people always comment on the scent!!
Awesome! I would try a citrus smell as well along with peppermint!
Will be making this this week, think I'll try a little lemon EO
I am making this now and it won't whip. I let it sit in the refrigerator for 45 minutes. Any ideas? Help!
Hey Tina! Sorry the body butter was not whipping how you wanted and that we didn't get back to you right away. It could be that the butter wasn't cool enough or that the mixer setting needed to be higher. Were you able to get it to the consistency that you wanted?
Body butter with panaway take the soreness away.
I think I will try Lavender, lemon and sweet orange. Can't wait to try it!
I've made this with the same oils and I added in a few drops of Rose oil too! Love the scent and all these oils are great for your skin! I'm very stingy with my rose oil, so anything I put it in has to feel really luxurious, and this does! 🌹❤️
