Essential Oil Tips For Recipe:
-When using essential oils on skin be sure to use only high quality, therapeutic essential oils that are safe to use topically.
-Lavender, chamomile & tea tree essential oil are excellent choices for this recipe but you can use just lavender oil if you do not all all the essential oils in this recipe.
-A different carrier oil can be used other than fractionated coconut oil in this recipe. You can sweet almond oil or jojoba oil as a substitute, both are good alternatives.
-This is a perfect recipe blend to take on hiking, camping or outdoor trips. Also good for a home first aid kit.
