Best Essential Oils for DIY Beauty Products

Essential oils are outstanding assets to any of your DIY beauty products. Not only do they smell divine, but they have other benefits, too, such as relaxing and healing qualities.* In this blog post, we’ll discuss several of the best essential oils for DIY beauty products.

Lavender
Lavender essential oil is great for virtually all DIY beauty products. Use in lotion bars, chapstick, hand sanitizer, body sprays, soap, etc. Lavender is healing for the skin, very relaxing, and it helps sleep come easier.*

Peppermint
Peppermint essential oil is also ideal for nearly any DIY beauty product, but in particular chapstick, lip balms and lotions. Peppermint has a lovely cooling quality; helps clear nasal passages; assists in breathing; and is marvelous for headaches.*

Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus essential oil is often a little too strong for lotions and chapstick, but it’s perfect for homemade vapor rub and other DIY products for helping clear congestion and assist with breathing.*

Rose
Sweet-smelling and floral, rose essential oil is great for dry or aging skin.* Use in lotions, soaps, and other DIY products.

Grapefruit
Known for its effect on cellulite and its appetite-suppressing properties, grapefruit essential oil is ideal for lotion.* Be brave and try it in a soap or chapstick, as well!

Vanilla
Vanilla essential oil is sweet and delicious—it helps bring peace and relaxation as well, making it the perfect oil for lotions, soaps, and other beauty products.*

Ylang Ylang
A very intense, sweet, spicy, earthy scent, ylang ylang is naturally moisturizing, which makes it perfect for lotions and soaps.* Use it to balance your root chakra as well.*

Remember that you can use any of your favorite scents in your DIY beauty products! Just be sure to check that the oil isn’t phototoxic (do not apply prior to going out into the sun), or an irritant. Always do a skin patch test before applying an essential oil all over the body.
