Soap Recipe With Essential Oils

This hair conditioner is made with a combination of carrot seed oil, carrot extract, and carrot essential oil. Carrot seed oil is known for its silky texture and carrot essential oil is known for its carotene and vitamin A content. Both ingredients leave hair feeling soft and moisturized.

Carrot essential oil does has a unique earthy smell. It’s not everybody’s favorite, but when mixed with Lavender Fine Essential Oil, the conditioner has an earthy, floral smell. Feel free to use any essential or fragrance oil you like in this recipe.

This conditioner has a thinner, more lightweight texture. If you prefer a thicker conditioner, decrease the water and increase the amount of cetearyl alcohol. The Ginger & Moringa Conditioner is a great example of a thicker, heavier conditioner. In general, this recipe may be better for finer hair that is easily weighed down.

French green clay is a popular additive in beauty products. It has a fine texture and light green color that comes from decomposed plant matter and iron oxides. It’s known for its fantastic oil absorbing properties. In this French Green Clay & Milk Soap, the clay adds a subtle color and skin-loving properties.

Rather than water, this recipe uses raw unpasteurized cow milk. You can also use pasteurized in this recipe – we just happened to have raw unpasteurized cow milk on hand. If you’ve never made milk soap, there are a few extra precautions to keep in mind. The lye can scorch the milk if it gets too hot, which can produce a dark color and unpleasant smell. Learn more about how to add lye to milk here.

Learn more about which clay is right for your skin here. The recipe is made with a refreshing blend of lemongrass essential oil and tea tree essential oil.

Information about essential oils is everywhere you look. Just one online search turns up 68 million results and counting. Each result says something different about essential oils – the way they smell, where they originated, what they claim to do. One source says bergamot essential oil helps with anxiety and clears the skin, while another source says petitgrain essential oil helps boost the immune system.

Diy Exfoliating Soap With Himalayan Salt & Essential Oils

You may notice our essential oil descriptions look a little plain compared to some – you won’t see any information about them boosting the immune system. There’s a very specific reason why that’s missing from the page.

The descriptions usually include what the essential oil smells like, how it’s distilled, its country of origin, its botanical name, what part of the plant it’s from, its flashpoint, and any safety information. For instance, Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil is steam distilled and originates in France. Lavender is also thought to alleviate headaches, heal burns, etc. However, these are drug claims.

Whether you need a moment to relax or you want to feel energized for your next outdoor adventure, we’ve got you covered. We have four premixed blends for every occasion – Deodorizing Blend,  Spa Blend,  Massage Blend, and Outdoor Blend.

At the end of a stressful day, a bath is the perfect way to relax, unwind, and prepare for bed. These Lavender Sleep Time Bath Truffles were designed with that purpose in mind. Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil gives these truffles a calming scent – perfect for preparing your mind and body for sleep.

Diy Foaming Hand Soap With Essential Oils (anti Bacterial!)

Simple to make, bath truffles are essentially bath bombs with extra skin-loving butters. The large quantities of cocoa butter and coconut oil in this recipe create a texture similar to pie crust or cookie dough. The mixture can easily be rolled into rustic balls of buttery goodness. Polysorbate 80 helps disperse the butters in the bath water. But, because there is so much butter and oil, some will still pool on top, so be careful not to slip when getting out of the tub.

That recipe contains SLS,  which produces bubbles when introduced to water.
