Aromatherapy Body Oil Project
The first step in this project is to create your own custom blend of essential oils. This is where your personal taste and preferences come into play, but we have included two blends to get you started! Each recipe creates one 10 mL roller bottle.
Once you've created your perfect blend, it's mixed with the Hydrating Oil Base and poured into the glass roller bottle. The base is a lightweight combination of grapeseed oil, squalane oil, jojoba oil, fractioned coconut oil, rosehip seed oil, and vitamin E. It absorbs quickly into the skin, so it's great for body oil. The roller bottle makes application quick and mess free.
These blends were created by Flower of Life by Ritual and Big Dipper Wax Works. Learn more about Flower here. In this video, she shows you her tips and tricks for creating your own essential oil blend at home.
