Natural Whipped Body Butter Recipe (with Honey and Grapefruit!)

This post may include affiliate links and I may earn commission if you make a purchase through these links.

Spring is upon us and as we transition seasons, I’m transitioning into different essential oils. Whether I’m diffusing, making bath bombs or even different creams, grapefruit is one of my favorite scents for spring and summer. This whipped body butter recipe uses honey and grapefruit essential oil and I think it’s going to be one of my favorite things to use over the next few months. 

Honey is naturally antibacterial, and is full of antioxidants. It’s also very moisturizing, which makes it a great fit for a body butter. 

What you need:

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon shae butter
  • 1.5 tablespoons beeswax
  • 1 tablespoons almond oil
  • 20 drops grapefruit essential oil
  • Small mason jars for storage

This grapefruit and honey whipped body butter recipe is sure to become a hit for your spring and summer! It's fairly easy to make, too!

How to make it: 

  • In a double boiler or glass jar combine all ingredients.
  • Heat over medium heat for about 12-15 minutes, until all ingredients are melted.
  • Whisk often to combine. Ensure everything is fully melted.
  • Let sit for 1-2 minutes before adding in the essential oil- then, whisk the oils into the mixture.
  • Let sit on the counter until the mixture hardens (roughly 6 hours but closer to 24 is better). The honey will look like it has separated to the bottom of the container.
  • Once hardened, whip the body butter for two to three minutes until it is combined and looks light and fluffy.
  • Transfer it to a mason jar with a tight fitting lid.

Once you apply the body butter, wait a few minutes before you put clothes on. You don’t want the oils to transfer to your clothing!

    I love the idea of making your own natural body products! This seems like it would be great to use on your body at night, too! Soothing to the skin!

    I bet this smells divine! I have to make all of my daughter’s skincare products due to her allergies. I haven’t tried honey in any of them yet, but I have everything on hand already and honey from our neighbor’s hives!
