Simply Earth Tea Tree Essential Oil
Every Simply Earth oil is printed with a Simply Pure Promise™ that ensures that the product has been quality tested and is 100% pure. Ingredients are also clearly printed on every label.
Tea tree is one of the most popular/beloved oils around the world — thanks to its antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Some of its more common uses include combatting acne, sanitizing, repelling insects, deodorizing, soothing skin inflammation, controlling dandruff, and treating fungal conditions (like athlete’s foot). It has a slightly medicinal scent, with earthy/woody notes.
Simply Earth Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil
Grapefruit essential oil has been found to have many benefits including clearing blemished skin, rejuvenating dull hair, boosting your mood, and supporting mental focus. It’s also great for balancing food cravings. Plus, it smells really good. 😉
Simply Earth Oregano Essential Oil
Like the spice itself, oregano essential oil has a sharp and herbaceous scent. Some of its many non-culinary uses include aiding in digestion, supporting joint function, easing seasonal discomfort, cleansing the skin, supporting healthy cholesterol, and more.
Simply Earth Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend
The only blend of April’s box, “Citrus Burst” contains an energizing combination of lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, and bergamot essential oil. I absolutely LOVE citrus scents and this uplifting blend is perfection. This oil is ideal for making all natural household/beauty products such as bath bombs, multi-purpose cleaning sprays, air fresheners, soap, and more.
Simply Earth Cleaning Bomb (x2)
Simply Earth’s new eco-friendly cleaning bombs were created to help you tackle those extra grimy cleaning jobs. Just pop a tab into a bucket or sink of water and let dissolve. Once it’s ready, simply grab a sponge and get to scrubbing.
Simply Earth Multi-Purpose Cleaning Tablet (x2)
Designed for general cleaning use, these multi-purpose tablets also dissolve in water like the bombs above. However, they’re intended for light daily cleaning jobs and therefore can be used in a spray bottle for multi-purpose uses. Think wiping counters, sinks, floors, etc. Of course you can also add your favorite essential oils to achieve a great scent to enjoy as you clean.
All Natural Cellulose Scrubber Sponge
This eco-friendly sponge is made with natural cellulose and coconut husk — making it a safer alternative to your traditional dish cloth that can harbor bacteria. It can be used for dishes, floors, bathrooms, or any hard surface that you’d employ a dishcloth.
Here are the recipes that I’ve made so far:
Risen Roll-On
Supplies needed: Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend, Grapefruit Essential Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil*, and a 10mL Roll-On Bottle*.
*Included in Big Bonus Box.
This easy recipe simply involved placing a specified amount of essential oils into the roll-on bottle and filling the rest up with coconut oil.
Then just replace the cap and carefully position the sticker/label & it’s ready to use!
April Showers Diffuser Blend
Supplies needed: Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend, Grapefruit Essential Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil and Oregano Essential Oil.
The easiest of all the recipes, it simply required me to fill my diffuser with water, then add the specified amount drops of each of the essential oils above. Once added, I switched on the diffuser and let the uplifting aroma fill the room.
April Showers Master Blend
Every monthly diffuser recipe also comes with instructions for making a “master blend” that gives you a pre-made supply to use as you wish.
Supplies needed: Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend, Grapefruit Essential Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil, Oregano Essential Oil, and a 5 mL bottle*.
*Included in Big Bonus Box.
All you have to do is pour the specified amount of essential oil into the bottle…
…add the provided stickers — and you’re done!
Easy Toilet Refresher
Supplies needed: Tea Tree Essential Oil and 1 Cleaning Bomb.
Although we have pretty clean toilets, taking an actual photo of one to include in my post would have been a little weird… So I’ll just relay that this “recipe” was incredibly easy and required me to just add a few drops of essential oil to the toilet, followed by the cleaning bomb. Once dissolved, I scrubbed the bowl as usual and flushed. So easy!!
