Simply Earth Palmarosa Essential Oil
Palmarosa essential oil is a great natural remedy for skin blemishes like acne, psoriasis, eczema, and similar conditions. Its antibacterial properties help to aid in balancing the sebum production in the skin to help maintain oil levels — while at the same time balancing your mood. Palmarosa is known for having a very sweet and floral scent that’s described as soft and uplifting.
(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 Defender Essential Oil Blend
The only blend of October’s box, “Defender” contains a warm & spicy combination of cinnamon (leaf), rosemary, lemon, eucalyptus, and clove (bud) essential oils. It’s designed to kill germs and help to “defend” your immune system by utilizing some of the best essential oils for immune boosting.
Simply Earth Globulus Eucalyptus Essential Oil
The eucalyptus oil above is made from the wood and leaves of the eucalyptus globulus tree. Its scent is described as “clean and herbaceous” and can have a stimulating or energizing effect. Some of its common uses are: supporting respiration, easing seasonal discomfort, promoting immunity, relaxing muscles, and easing itching.
Simply Earth Tangerine Essential Oil
Tangerine essential oil is known for its aromatic citrus scent that can assist in aiding digestion, supporting your immune system, and clearing your mind. It also effective cleaning properties, making it great to use in DIY cleaning products. This particular batch of oil was sourced in Brazil from the peel of the fruit.
Lava Rock Shower Diffuser
The lava rock shower diffuser above allows you to fill your bathroom with the aroma of essential oils by using the natural steam of your shower. To use, simply thread the string through the lava stone, add a few drops of essential oil, and hang on your shower head.
Dried Lavender Flowers
A package of fragrant dried lavender buds was included to be used in making “Lavender Sun-Infused Oil”. Lavender buds can also be used in a variety of DIY recipes such as bar soaps, potpourri, bath salts, and more.
Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp seed oil is a 100% pure carrier oil that has great skin soothing/healing properties. It’s perfect for making your own salves, balms, body butters, and more.
Here are the recipes that I’ve made so far:
Morning Shower Diffuser
Supplies needed: Lava rock shower diffuser, Tangerine Essential Oil, Palmarosa Essential Oil, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, and a 5mL amber glass bottle*.
*Included in Big Bonus Box.
First, I assembled the diffuser by simply threading the string through the center of the lava rock and tying it securely.
Next, I made a master blend using the specified amount of each of the three essential oils.
I then slapped on a label and it was ready to go! — Prior to my next shower, I placed a few drops of the blend directly onto the lava rock and hung it on the inside of our shower door. Instant spa vibes!
Deep Breath Chest Salve
Supplies needed: Coconut Oil (solid)*, Beeswax*, Hemp Seed Oil, Defender Essential Oil Blend, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, and a 2oz jar.
*Included in Big Bonus Box.
The first step was to place the coconut oil and beeswax into a microwave-safe bowl and heat until fully melted.
Once liquified, I was to mix in the hemp seed oil and essential oils.
I then poured the mixture into a small jar (I use these) and set it aside to cool.
A few hours later, the salve was completely solidified and ready to use. 🙂
Autumn Zest Diffuser Blend
Supplies needed: Tangerine Essential Oil, Palmarosa Essential Oil, and Defender 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 autumn-inspired aroma fill the room.
Autumn Zest 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: Tangerine Essential Oil, Palmarosa Essential Oil, Defender 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!
Tangerine Dream Roll-On
Supplies needed: Tangerine Essential Oil, Palmarosa 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!
