A peek inside!
An info card (printed on the back of one of the recipe cards) revealed March’s theme: “Face Care”. It listed this month’s featured oils, along with any included extras. It also provided a few safety tips for each oil/blend.

Simply Earth Lemon 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.
Lemon is one of my favorite essential oils! — It has such a universally appealing scent and can be utilized in a variety of ways. It’s particularly great for detoxifying, reducing the appearance of breakouts, easing seasonal discomfort, cleaning, promoting stomach wellness, and more.
Simply Earth Geranium Essential Oil
Derived from the leaves of the geranium plant, this oil was once used by ancient Egyptians to treat tumors and then by Europeans to treat an array of conditions including dysentery, hemorrhoids, menstrual conditions, and diarrhea. Today, it is often used to promote hormone balance, soothe the skin, reduce the appearance of redness, detoxify, and many other uses.
Simply Earth Copaiba Essential Oil
Copaiba is a sap-like substance (oleoresin) collected from the trunk of CFopaifera trees. Native to South America, it’s mainly produced in Brazil, Venezuela, and Columbia. When used in essential oil form, copaiba is great for reducing the appearance of blemishes, detoxifying, supporting respiration, calming, and more.
Simply Earth Clear Skin Essential Oil Blend
The only blend of March’s box, “Clear Skin” contains a powerful combination of tea tree, sandalwood, cedarwood, juniper berry, and lemon essential oils. This oil has great anti-acne properties and is ideal for crafting all natural skin care products such as cleansers and facial masks.
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 two of this month’s recipes.
Gua Sha Massage Tool
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing method in which a smooth-edged tool (shown above) is used to stroke your skin while pressing down on it. This motion raises small, red, rash-like dots that show under your skin called petechiae. This process is believed to help blood flow and create a “lifting” effect on your skin, which some say may help lessen toxins in your body and promote healing.
Face Serum Base
This 100% natural serum base was designed to be used alone or customized with your favorite essential oils. It contains a blend of camellia seed oil, jojoba oil, sunflower seed oil, rosehip oil, and hemp seed oil.
Here are the recipes that I’ve made so far:
New Horizons Diffuser Blend
Supplies needed: Lemon Essential Oil, Copaiba Essential Oil, and Geranium 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.
New Horizons 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: Lemon Essential Oil, Copaiba Essential Oil, Geranium 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!
Clear Skin Roll-On (Serum Base)
Supplies needed: Clear Skin Essential Oil Blend, Serum Base, Almond Oil*, and a 10mL Roll-On Bottle*.
*Included in Big Bonus Box.
Another easy recipe that simply involved placing a specified amount of essential oil and serum base into the roll-on bottle and filling the rest up with almond oil.
Then just replace the cap and carefully position the sticker/label & it’s ready to use!
Melt Away Cleansing Balm
Supplies needed: Almond Oil*, Coconut Oil (solid)*, Emulsifying Wax, Beeswax*, Clear Skin Essential Oil Blend, and a small jar.
*Included in Big Bonus Box.
First, I needed to add the specified amount of almond oil, solid coconut oil, beeswax, and emulsifying wax to a microwave-safe bowl. I then warmed it in short intervals until the ingredients were completely liquified.
The mixture was then poured into a small jar that I had on hand.
After letting it sit for a couple hours, it was solidified and ready to use!
