Three Essential Oil Blends using the power of aromatherapy to help you wake up, clear your head, and calm down.
Essential Oils are a fabulous, all-natural way to support a huge range of wellness goals. Whether you are diffusing essential oils to enjoy their aroma, adding a few drops to your favorite massage oil, or including them in your handmade skin care and cosmetic formulations, trying your hand at custom blends is a sure way to up your game. We crafted the following essential oil blends for refreshing mind, body, and spirit!
Because these essential oils blends are made at full-strength using pure essential oils and CO2 extracts it’s important to dilute them before use. Essential Oils (and blends) are typically used at a rate of around 1-3% in skin care formulations, but be sure to check out the usage rate for your specific application every time you make something new! NAHA offers a handy reference article for using essential oils and essential oil blends in a wide range of applications.

Maybe I’m misreading the directions but for a 30ml {1 ounce} should I really be adding all the other mls in the recipe?
Hello Rebecca, thank you for your question! The 30 ml total is for the EO blend base itself and is not considered a finished product. You would need dilute the blend before use in your formulations. Essential Oils (and blends) are typically used at a rate of around 1-3% in skin care formulations, but be sure to check out the usage rate for your specific application every time you make something new. We hope that helps!
