Aromatherapy Day Recipe Preview

We’re having an event at the store on Saturday, October 8th where everyone can make rollerbottles and room sprays at the store using our essential oils and ingredients. The recipes below are what we will be making that day, using your choice of roughly 60 different essential oils we will have available to use.

These are the bottles in the kit to make two rollerbottles and two room sprays in blue glass bottles. Each kit is $10 each and includes all of the ingredients needed.

Room Spray Recipe

Ingredients:

2 oz. Spray Bottle

1 tsp. Glycerin

1 tsp. Witch Hazel

20-30 drops any combination of essential oils

Directions:

Fill the essential oil bottle with witch hazel and glycerin, then add your essential oils and fill the rest of the way with water

NOTE: Be sure not to overfill the bottle with water so the atomizer top can still be put on without it overflowing. 

 

Rollerbottle Recipe

Ingredients:

10ml Rollerbottle

4-10 Drops Essential Oil

Carrier Oil (Grapeseed)

Directions:

Put 4-10 drops of essential oils in a rollerbottle and then fill the rest of the way with a carrier oil. Only fill to the shoulder of the bottle so rollerbottle top can be put on without it overflowing.
