A peek inside!
An info card (printed on the back of one of the recipe cards) revealed January’s theme: “Body Care”. It listed this month’s featured oils, along with any included extras. It also provided a few safety tips for each oil/blend.
A note from Katie — recipe formulator & certified aromatherapist — revealed a bit more about this month’s theme.
January’s recipes provided clear instructions for whipping up the following:
- Winter Bloom Whipped Sugar Scrub
- Relief Cream
- Lullaby Lotion
- Fresh Snow Roll-On
- Chocolate Orange Balm
- Dreamy Diffuser Blend
A sheet of pre-printed stickers was also included for labeling your creations.
January’s oils included:
- Blood Orange
- Fir Needle
- Sweet Dreams
- Relief
Simply Earth Blood Orange Essential Oil
According to its description in the Simply Earth shop, Blood Orange Essential Oil has an aroma that’s less sweet than traditional oranges with a bit of a more herbal/floral scent as well. Aside from smelling fabulous, it has plenty of health benefits including promoting rest, boosting immunity, uplifting your mood, cleansing your skin, supporting joint function, and more.
(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.)
Simply Earth Fir Needle Essential Oil
Fir Needle essential oil has a crisp evergreen scent and is great for aiding in digestion, supporting joint function, boosting immunity, relaxing muscles, and more. — It’s not just for the holidays! 😉
Simply Earth Sweet Dreams Essential Oil Blend
January’s box has not one, but two pre-made essential oil blends. The first is “Sweet Dreams” — which consists of marjoram, lavender, cedarwood, chamomile, and frankincense. It’s specially formulated to promote calm feelings and emotions, resulting in a more restful sleep.
Simply Earth Relief Essential Oil Blend
This month’s second blend, “Relief”, contains a herbaceous combination of rosemary, copaiba, juniper berry, eucalyptus, and peppermint essential oils. It was especially designed to help soothe and relieve occasional discomfort. Simply Earth recommends using Relief Essential Oil Blend in a bath along with Epsom salts to help boost circulation which will assist your body’s natural healing processes.
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is a popular ingredient in skincare products due to its natural moisturizing properties. It’s often used in lotions, creams, lip balms, and body butters to hydrate & soften the skin. It’s 100% natural and has a light, earthy aroma.
Emulsifying Wax
Emulsifying wax is the go-to product for giving your DIY recipes texture and consistency. It allows you to mix oil and water in lotion recipes and also prolongs its shelf life. A small packet was provided for use with three of this month’s recipes.
Lip Balm Tubes
A reusable lip balm tube was provided for holding this month’s DIY lip balm recipe. The tube holds 0.18 ounces and measures 2.75″ long by 0.6″ wide.
Here are the recipes that I’ve made so far:
Orange Chocolate Balm
Supplies needed: Cocoa Butter, Beeswax*, Almond Oil*, Blood Orange Essential Oil, and 1 Lip Balm Tube.
*Included in Big Bonus Box.
After gathering my ingredients, I placed the required amount of cocoa butter, beeswax, and almond oil into a microwave-safe bowl.
After placing in the microwave to melt together, I then added the essential oil and carefully poured the mixture into my lip balm tube.
The balm hardened surprisingly fast, so I just cleaned up the access around the top, replaced the cap, slapped on a label, and it was ready to use!
Dreamy Diffuser Blend
Supplies needed: Fir Needle Essential Oil, Blood Orange Essential Oil, and Sweet Dreams Essential Oil Blend.
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 relaxing aroma fill the room.
Dreamy 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: Fir Needle Essential Oil, Blood Orange Essential Oil, Sweet Dreams Essential Oil Blend, and a 5 mL amber glass 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!
Fresh Snow Roll-On
Supplies needed: Fir Needle Essential Oil, Sweet Dreams Essential Oil Blend, Blood Orange 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 oil 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!
The box also included a recipe for hand & body lotion that I didn’t get to, but you can see my review on the Simply Earth DIY Lotion Kit here!
