Green Range Recommendations

Less is often more with Essential Oils so often just a few drops in a cosmetic cream or cosmetic body butter is perfect. For wash off products such as Melt and Pour Soap, Bubble Bath, Shower Gel, Organic Shampoo and Organic Conditioner try using 1% per volume so the essential perfume lasts in the product.

If you want to try a scented face cream or hand cream really try to keep the essential perfume at a minimum. 1 to 2 drops per 100g of product. Your skin will appreciate this.

Foot creams and butters you can add more but remember absorption into the feet is the quickest way into your blood stream so consult an aromatherapist if unsure.

Aromatherapy massage oils are heavenly but again keep your additions to a minimum and if unsure ask an aromatherapist. Adding the 100% pure oils to carrier oils such as grapeseed oil, extra virgin olive oil is a great way of maximising the usage whilst being kind to your skin.
