You know that first sip of a peppermint mocha in December — the one that instantly makes you feel like your main personality trait is “festive”?
Now imagine that, but for your skin.
This whipped Peppermint Mocha Body Butter smells like Christmas morning, feels like a cloud, and leaves you glowing like you’ve been kissed by cocoa-scented angels.
And the best part? You can make it at home in under 30 minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. It’s rich, creamy, and so good you’ll want to gift it — but probably won’t. (No judgment, we all have our self-care priorities.)

This Peppermint Mocha Body Butter is pure holiday magic in a jar.
Base:
This dreamy shea butter is perfect for your homemade body butter creations. Raw, unrefined.
Scent & Extras:
Add your shea butter, coconut oil, and cocoa butter to a heat-safe bowl. Melt slowly over a double boiler (or microwave in 15-second intervals). Stir until silky smooth.
Once melted, mix in your almond oil and cocoa powder. Stir until the cocoa fully dissolves — no one wants a lumpy latte vibe.
Pop the bowl in the fridge for about 30–45 minutes. You want the edges to firm up but not fully solidify — think brownie batter, not ice cream.
Now for the fun part. Grab your mixer and whip on medium-high for 3–5 minutes until fluffy and light. The texture should look like frosting — dangerously edible but please, don’t.
Add peppermint essential oil, vanilla extract, and vitamin E. Give it one last quick whip so everything blends together.
Scoop your whipped body butter into small jars or tins. Add a festive label, tie on a ribbon or candy cane, and boom — you’re basically Santa with a skincare line.
This DIY body butter looks way more expensive than it is. Here’s how to make it gift-ready:

Everyone loves a handmade beauty product — especially one that smells edible. This Peppermint Mocha Body Butter is creamy, moisturizing, and festive enough to make anyone feel like they’re living inside a Hallmark movie.
