A peek inside!
An info card (printed on the back of one of the recipe cards) revealed July’s theme: “Bath & Spa”. 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.
July’s recipes provided clear instructions for whipping up the following:
- Bergamot Cocoa Bath Creamers
- Chocolate Rose Bath Melt
- Rest Easy Roll-On
- Dreamy Sugar Scrub
- Bath Fizzing Fairy Dust
- Peaceful Forest Diffuser Blend
A sheet of pre-printed stickers was also included for labeling your creations.
July’s oils included:
- Fir Needle
- Sleepy
- Bergamot
- Tranquility
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.
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 Sleepy Essential Oil Blend
The first of two blends this month, “Sleepy” was created to help relax your mind and body before catching some z’s. It has a sweet & fruity scent and is comprised of lavender, grapefruit, bergamot, and ho wood essential oils.
Simply Earth Bergamot Essential Oil
Fun Fact: Bergamot was named after a town in Italy — Bergamo — where Bergamot oil was first marketed. It has a fragrant citrus/floral aroma and is often used for its calming effect, as well as aiding digestion, deodorizing, promoting immunity, balancing cravings, and more.
Simply Earth Tranquility Essential Oil Blend
July’s second blend was “Tranquility” — created to “promote feelings of contentment, composure, and reassurance, helping you feel more at ease and bringing about a sense of well-being when nervous feelings try to overwhelm your emotions.” It contains a fragrant combination of lemon, orange, ylang ylang, patchouli, and amyris essential oils.
Dried Rose Petals
These all natural dried rose petals are great for sprinkling on top of soap, mixing into scrubs, bath bombs, and bath salts. They add a great pop of color and light fragrance!
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.
Paper Molds
Three small paper molds were included to create “Bergamot Cocoa Bath Creamers”. Each one measures roughly two inches in diameter and about 1/2 an inch tall.
Citric Acid
Also included was a generously sized packet of citric acid. — Citric acid is used along with baking soda to create carbon dioxide bubbles (aka the “fizz”) — the key ingredient in the bath fizz powder recipe in this month’s box.
Here are the recipes that I’ve made so far:
Dreamy Sugar Scrub
Supplies needed: Coconut Oil (solid)*, Cocoa Butter, Fractionated Coconut Oil*, Fir Needle Essential Oil, Bergamot Essential Oil, Sleepy Essential Oil Blend, Rose Petals, Sugar, Mica Powder (optional), and a 2-oz Jar.
*Included in Big Bonus Box.
The first step was to add the solid coconut oil, cocoa butter, and fractionated coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and heat until fully melted.
Once liquified, it was time to add the essential oils…
…as well as sugar and (optional) mica powder.
Everything was mixed together, forming a pretty pink hue.
Lastly, I tossed in a small amount of crushed dried rose petals and mixed it one final time.
The mixture was then poured into a 2-ounce jar and put aside to cool.
I checked it again the following morning and it was fully “set” and ready to use. — So pretty!
Peaceful Forest Diffuser Blend
Supplies needed: Fir Needle Essential Oil, Bergamot Essential Oil, Tranquility Essential Oil Blend, and Sleepy 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 fragrant aroma fill the room.
Peaceful Forest 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, Bergamot Essential Oil, Tranquility Essential Oil Blend, Sleepy Essential Oil Blend, 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!
Rest Easy Roll-On
Supplies needed: Sleepy Essential Oil Blend, Tranquility Essential Oil Blend, Bergamot 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!
