Add Essential Oils To Shampoos And Lotions
There are lots of ways to use essential oils and it’s such a simple, easy way to give your family a healthier, toxin-free environment.
Topically With A Carrier Oil
For topical use, a carrier oil is highly recommended. Essential oils are very potent, and can cause skin irritation if you do not use a carrier oil.
How much carrier oil to use depends on factors such as skin sensitivity and oil potency (all oils are different). A good rule of thumb is to add 10 drops of carrier oil to 1 drop of essential oil, and adjust accordingly to preference.
Fractionated Coconut Oil is our fan favorite, however we also offer Almond Oil, Argan Oil, and Jojoba Oil. Shop all carrier oils here to see what is best for you.
