24.01.2022 Bath safety notice! Do not put drops of essential oil directly into a bath and then step into it. Seriously, dont do it. This is a mistake very easily made, e...ven by people who have been using essential oils for some time. If you want to add essential oils to your bathwater, mix them in a vegetable oil, or emulsify into an aqueous medium, using an emulsifying agent such as Solubol. Essential oils do not mix with water, they float in tiny droplets on the surface, and you are about to sit on those droplets of undiluted essential oil. Whenever essential oils are mixed with water without a dispersing agent, there is a high risk of irritation, since undiluted droplets of essential oil attach to the skin, often in sensitive areas. Because the oils are warmed up by the water, and also cannot evaporate, they often sting like crazy. This can happen with any essential oil, though it seems to be especially bad with citrus oils. Adding a fatty oil to your bath does make for a more greasy bathing experience, and some argue that it can stain your bathtub. If this is your concern, you could try using less greasy fatty oil such as jojoba or fractionated coconut oil. Neither full-fat milk nor Epsom salts properly dissolve essential oils. This may shave a few % of the risk, but its really not recommended, especially for anyone who might be sensitive. So, your choices are: thoroughly mix in a vegetable oil (you will get a floating bath oil), or emulsify the EOs into an aqueous medium such as water or a hydrosol using an emulsifying agent.

24.01.2022 Gorgeous colour thanks to the Calendula oil! Worst part of product making?...the maths

22.01.2022 Diffusion, diffusion, diffusion. Diffusion is one of the first things people are introduced to once they take an interest in essential oils, but sometimes figur...ing out just how to go about doing it can get confusing. Check out the post below for info on how I navigate essential oil diffusion! http://aromapologist.com/a-closer-look-at-diffusion-actual/

21.01.2022 Balance Balm! All purpose moisturising, soothing and smells wonderfully earthy and protective.

21.01.2022 Had a dream about this misunderstood plant! ; and at 6am I was drinking the helpful (and delicious) plant in an infusion, reading about its chemical constituents in preparation for a balm I have planned. Anyone name that plant? ( hint: theres a clue in the photo ) Happy Sunday!

19.01.2022 Ive spent an very enjoyable morning with this lovely happy customer, creating 3 different spritzes for her to take home!

19.01.2022 The science behind the spiritual: what gives holy incense its distinctive smell and impact? Frankincense, Myrrh, Sandalwood, Palo Santo and Agarwood have something in common - they all contain sesquiterpenoids.

18.01.2022 Do you gain anything by adding citrus essential oils to your water? It turns out you get a safer dose of the same volatile compounds by simply adding juice. Plu...s the juice contains vitamins and other nutritional compounds too heavy to pass into the essential oil. #essentialoil #lemon #orange #water

18.01.2022 I finally have my product-maker mojo back. The same reason I lost it is the reason Im getting it back. The circle of life! It makes me happy - just playing with natural ingredients with some basic chemistry practice thrown in. What could be better ?

18.01.2022 Great, visual experiment on the varying degrees of solubility of EOs in different liquids.

New products using this oil are forming in my head... and the girls are bracing themselves for Mango surprise each day for lunch...
