A peek inside!
An info card (printed on the back of one of the recipe cards) revealed May’s theme: “Hair 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.
May’s recipes provided clear instructions for whipping up the following:
- Head Soothing Roll-On
- Bubbly Diffuser Blend
- Happy Hair Wax
- Shiny Hair Mask
- Protect & Shine Hair Oil
- DIY Custom Dry Shampoo
A sheet of pre-printed stickers was also included for labeling your creations.
May’s oils included:
- Ylang Ylang
- Himalayan Cedarwood
- Head Soothing
- Happy Joy
Simply Earth Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Known as the “flower of flowers”, Ylang Ylang was given its name for its sweet, floral aroma. It’s mainly grown in tropical areas throughout Asia and has been used for years to support healthy hair, skin, and overall wellness. Common uses include promoting youthful skin, soothing the scalp, bringing about uplifting/energizing feelings, thickening hair, 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 Himalayan Cedarwood Essential Oil
Cedarwood (Himalayan) uses can be traced as far as biblical times when it was used for construction materials in temples, homes, boats, and torches. — Its’ woody scent actually provides a natural resistance to decay and bugs (yay!). These days, it’s often used for promoting rest, soothing & cleansing the skin, supporting respiration, and more.
Simply Earth Head Soothing Essential Oil Blend
May’s box included two blends. The first, “Head Soothing” contains a powerful combination of ho wood, lavender, and frankincense essential oils. This oil has a fresh, floral scent that’s great for easing tension and stress-related headaches. It’s perfect for blending with coconut oil in a roller ball bottle for topical application.
Simply Earth Happy Joy Essential Oil Blend
The second blend was “Happy Joy” — an uplifting combination of grapefruit, orange, geranium, and ylang ylang essential oils. It was crafted to help provide a boost of energy & a breath of fresh air for those times when you’re feeling a little down.
“Homemade” Paperboard Tube
One of the recipes in this month’s box is for “Happy Hair Wax”. The cardboard tube above was provided as a dispenser for said wax and can be reused (refilled) multiple times. It’s also biodegradable!
Simply Earth Argan Oil
Argan oil is a 100% naturally derived product that works great as a carrier oil. Its softening & nourishing abilities make it an ideal oil to use on your face, body, hair, and even nails.
Plastic Amber Spray Bottle
Lastly, a 1-ounce plastic amber spray bottle was provided to utilize with the “Protect & Shine Hair Oil” recipe.
Here are the recipes that I’ve made so far:
Bubbly Diffuser Blend
Supplies needed: Cedarwood Essential Oil, Head Soothing Essential Oil Blend, Happy Joy Essential Oil Blend and Ylang Ylang 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.
Bubbly 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: Cedarwood Essential Oil, Head Soothing Essential Oil Blend, Happy Joy Essential Oil Blend, Ylang Ylang 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!
Head Soothing Roll-On
Supplies needed: Head Soothing Essential Oil Blend, 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!
Protect & Shine Hair Oil
Supplies needed: Argan Oil, Almond Oil*, Head Soothing Essential Oil Blend, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil, and a 1 ounce Spray Bottle.
*Included in Big Bonus Box.
I forgot to snap any photos, but this recipe was as easy as pouring the indicated amount of argan oil & almond oil into the spray bottle, adding the essential oils, and giving it a shake. My curly/wavy-haired kids go through a LOT of hair oil, so this is a product I’ll be remaking often.
