Bath Oil with Suggestions for Essential Oil Blends

Bath Oil with suggestions for Essential Oil Blends

1 ounces Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2  ounces Sweet Almond Oil
1 ounce Grapeseed or Rice Bran oil
2 ounces Sunflower Oil or Safflower Oil (for the high vitamin E content)
1 ounce Aloe Oil (not gel)
1/2 ounce Liquid Shea Oil

Blend together in an 8 ounce bottle - cap and use about an ounce in each bath for nice, soft skin. (This makes 7 1/2 ounces, with room for essential oils or absolutes)
You may add to this, essential oils or absolutes if you'd like. You only need a few drops. Leave the oils in with your bath blend for 3-4 days so that the scents can meld together - sniff and if it's not exactly what you'd like, add a little more of a sweet essential/absolute or other to make it the way you want it, as we all have our own preferences.
Recommendations of mine are:
Sensual - Jasmine Absolute and Sweet Orange or Tangerine, with a little Sandalwood
"        " - Rose Absolute and Jasmine

Wake Up - Peppermint
"         " - Spearmint and Lemon - equal percentages
Colds     - Eucalyptus with a drop or two of Tea Tree
Calming  - Lavender French Hi Altitude with either some Lavender Bulgarian and Ylang-Ylang or Jasmine.
"       "   - Lavender Bulgarian, Chamomile (German) and a little Vetiver (I like the hydro-difussed for scent)
"       "  - Vetiver, Bay, Cedarwood Atlas or Deodora, Ylang-Ylang
"       "  - Clary Sage and Vetiver
"       "  - Patchouli, Tangerine/Sweet Orange and Ylang-Ylang
Uplifting - Sweet Orange, Ylang-Ylang and Lemon
"        " - Lime or Pink Grapefruit
"        " - Tangerine and Vanilla

These are just a few blends that I've used - I have more, if you'd like. As always, any questions - ask! Makes a nice gift for yourself or anyone else.
