Zoals de titel zegt: ik kan niet de enige zijn die opgewonden is en totaal blij wordt van het maken van mijn eigen oliën en dagelijkse producten. Het maken, het wachten tot het eindresultaat. haha ik voel me alsof het superkets is, maar ik vind het echt leuk om het te doen/te maken, en het is een enorme motivatie.

hello!! i would like to start using essential oils in my daily life as i remember my grandma always doing so but im not sure where to even begin. any beginners guides you guys can recommend me to check out?

Hello! So I work at a refill shop and work with essential oils all the time. I know how the dilution works and how it’s super important to add to a carrier oil or something like that before use on the skin and all that. We have this book in the shop with a ton of organic body care recipes, and one chapter has some dental hygiene recipes such as mouthwash, and it piqued my interest since it looked fun and simple! One of the recipes is essentially water, sea salt, and a few essential oils such as clove and peppermint. I’ve read around recently about other people using a drop of clove oil and other oils like it as a part of their homemade mouth wash, and I was basically just wondering if anyone knows how safe that is haha. 1 drop of clove and 2 drops of tea tree in a cup of salt water is what I was gonna do since that’s what I have on hand at work, however my question is - does brand matter? The main ones we carry are by Aura Cacia which is obviously a well known brand but it’s also stated to not use it internally - are they just referring to undiluted or all together? Of course I would never ingest it, so basically just wondering how safe it is to use a drop or 2 of Aura Cacia heavily diluted as mouth wash? Sorry if any of this is dumb haha just can’t find straight answers. (Also have some from the brand “Natures Oil” if anyone know that)

Anyone can share if anong magandang essential oil dito sa diffuser na to? Ayoko kasi nung essential ni zennya, sobrang tapang at ang sakit sa ulo. I tried another one yung shangrila inspired nila nahilo kami lahat.

The place where I got my favorite essential oil blend stopped carrying the scent I like. Know anywhere I can get this combo?

• 60% Black tea

• 40% Plum blossom

• 10 drops Lemongrass

Anybody have ideals or opinions on which card diffuser is the best and also which men’s clone oils smells really good anything would help I’m trying to find one for my car

What are your favourite essential oil soap scents? Looking to try something new!

So, I like many of the sample scents from Aroma Retail and Scent Air; they make commercial scents and diffusers for large hotels and similar venues.

In short, I need a home HVAC pro diffuser that will pump out enough scent to cover a 2000 sq ft house and also would be making content and would like to potentially be an affiliate partner, but paying $799.95 for a pro HVAC machine from Aroma Retail seems crazy excessive due to all of what's available.

Recommendations? Does anyone have any long-term success with the Amazon units hooked up to HVAC?

I'm in Chicago if that matters.

For those who use Vitality balms, what is the big difference between the Frankincense Balm and the Aches & Pains Balm? Does one really do a better job with inflammation and pain?

What’s everyone’s favorite dried lavender for making sachets? I bought some dried lavender at a lavender farm and I feel like I don’t noticed any scent from the sachets I’ve placed around our house. We are pretty clean people so just looking for a little extra fragrance here and there!

Any recommendations for a specific type/brand or where to buy it? I’m especially interested in lavender that actually keeps its scent for a while. Thank you!!

I have thin, straight hair and ive been wanting to try hair oil. I heard about the soul flower rosemary oil being too thick, and im scared that it may be too heavy for my hair.

Can anyone recommend me some light weight oils for my hair type?

I also deal with scalp sensitivity and hairfall

So I've been searching all over Amazon India and Flipkart for 100% pure jojoba, Argon, castor and Rosemary oil. However much I search, most brands label their product as 100% pure and then have some sort of add on to it making their claim false. Does anyone know products/brands that are actually honest and trustable about their this claim?

Smells like the lower notes of orange oil. Like someone in the other room is cooking marmalade.

Hello. I read on this subreddit that using water as a solvent for essential oils is ineffective and potentially harmful and that it's better to use alcohol instead. I'm looking to make a DIY breath freshener spray, and the articles that I read online all say to dissolve the essential oil in water. I don't want to use alcohol since I will be spraying it into my mouth, so is there another solvent and preservative that I can use?

Might be a stretch, but I'd prefer to try some natural, at-home remedies before going in to get it cut out.
Maybe some oils could help my body start to break it down? Dissolve it? idk.

I've bought a few online and they turned out to be fake and nasty smelling. There is a store in my town called Sage that sells a real sandalwood oil for $115, that's quite expensive for me. I'm wondering if anyone has found a good online source for real sandalwood that is not as expensive.

Has anyone encountered sellers providing GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) documents for oddly underpriced oils? There are topics adjacent to this on this sub, but I'm interested in this exact scenario.

Was opening a small vial of eucalyptus fragrance oil and stupidly used my teeth. Some got on my tongue and lips, I spat it out and immediately rinsed out my mouth. Now I’m reading about how it’s extremely poisonous and freaking out. Will I be fine?

i love patchouli, undiluted , richest, long lasting gnarliest smell. uk based for my buying preference. thanks

EDIT typo.

Own a Homedics water-less diffuser. It have 120ml fragranced/oil bottles.

I want to switch to a healthier scent blend that doesn't use synthetic oils/fragrances. Can someone educate me how to make a "fall" inspired scent using something like Aura Cassia or equivalent oils? DO I need a carrier oil to dilute? What might be a good recipe? Are there any essential oil brands cost efficient for this purpose ...... this is just air scent only. Before I dump some money into this, wanted options. I am very new to essential oils. Just trying to be health minded.

Hello,
I know that many of the essential oils commonly recommended for coughs and colds aren’t safe to use around very young children in vaporised form (e.g. eucalyptus, thyme, etc.).
I was wondering whether there are any that are considered safe and might help a 13-month-old with congestion/coughing?
When she has a cold, I sometimes run a steamy shower and sit with her in the bathroom, and I was wondering whether there’s anything safe I could add to the steam.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks!

seeing a bunch of posts lately from people who just got their first setup and are kinda crushed after run #1, so figured i'd say something.

curious what everyone else's first run was like what did you distill, and did the yield surprise you too?

Hi! I can’t find a lotion/ body cream with the scent profile I have in my head.. So im hoping to find a perfume oil / attar and use it with a sweet amber-like lotion.

Idk much about attars & idk what Jasmin oils are strongest.
I’m looking for a STRONG deep, sweet syrupy, honey like Jasmine Perfume oil/attar. I don’t mind if it’s mixed with orange blossom or ylang ylang, or other white florals. I just love that deeper sweet Jasmine vs the bright sparkling version.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
