Let’s dive into this healthy recipe.
Ingredients:
- 10ml Carrier Oil (e.g., sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, fractionated coconut oil) – Choose a carrier oil that suits your skin type.
- 3 drops Lavender Essential Oil – Known for its calming and sleep-promoting properties. This is one of the best recipes for relaxation.

Instructions:
- Gather your ingredients: Ensure all your essential oils and carrier oil are ready. Cleanliness is key when handling essential oils.
- Prepare your bottle: Use a 10ml amber glass bottle with a dropper for easy application and storage. Amber glass protects the oils from degrading in sunlight.
- Add the carrier oil: Pour the carrier oil into the amber bottle.
- Add the essential oils: Carefully add each essential oil, one at a time, to the bottle.
- Mix well: Secure the lid and gently roll the bottle between your palms to mix the oils thoroughly.
Tips for Success:
- Patch test: Before using this blend topically, conduct a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions.
- Storage: Store your blend in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency and aroma.
- Experiment: Feel free to adjust the ratios of essential oils to create a blend that perfectly suits your preferences.
Variations:
- Uplifting Blend: Replace Chamomile and Cedarwood with 3 drops of Lemon and 2 drops of Peppermint for an invigorating blend.
- Sleep Blend: Increase the Lavender to 5 drops and add 1 drop of Valerian root essential oil (use cautiously, as it can be sedating).
