Pro Tip: For a more relaxing version try using lavender essential oil instead of citrus fresh. Or if you need a midday pick-me-up try using peppermint. In fact, play around with all of your essential oils until you find just the right body butter for you. Enjoy!

  1. I made this and found it whipped up just great if it was cold enough. Chilled it, whipped it for a bit and repeated two more times and got a great texture. I’d definitely make this again and will try the cornstarch/arrowroot to see if that makes a difference.

  2. great recipe I use one similar and everyone raves about it. I would use less oil and add a tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot. Viola. Non greasy and a heavenly scent. Thanks for sharing.

  3. This is the worst body butter recepe I have ever tried, you should take it off your website and be ashamed of yourself, what a disaster and a total waste of time and money. Not Happy!!!!!!!

  4. Tried this recipe and it has WAY too much olive oil! The result was a super oily product that does not hold together well at all. If the other ingredients weren’t so expensive for me to get I probably would have dumped it. So disappointing.

    1. She should have added Arrowroot to it…it would have made it like a whip and less oily
