ConditionerCarrier Oil (fractionated Coconut, Jojoba, Sweet Almont, Grape seed Oil, Moroccan, etc)
Guar Gum (a natural thickener commonly used in cosmetics and foods) Essential oil of choice 1 cup distilled water (can be filtered water) An empty bottle (a squeeze bottle would be best) Instructions: Measure 1 ¼ tsp of Guar Gum into an empty squeeze bottle, add ¾ tsp carrier oil. Add 7-12 drops essential oil of your choice, start with a lower amount, you can always add more. Add water. Stir, shake until the mixture is smooth and clump free and your conditioner is ready to use. One of the benefits of making your own conditioner is that you can customize them to you. If after making a batch that and you find that you want a thicker conditioner, add more Guar Gum, if you would like it thinner, add more water. You can also adjust the scent by adding more essential oil. |

Skin
Scar-B-Gone10 drops helichrysum
6 drops lavender 8 drops lemongrass 4 drops patchouli 5 drops myrrh 1 ounce V-6 Massage oil or virgin coconut oil Instructions: MIX IN THE ORDER GIVEN (VERY important!!!), rolling the bottle between your palms after adding each oil. Apply topically at least 3-4 times a day. The KEY is to add them in the order listed.It affects how the oil molecules interact with each other to form a new substance. So add Helichrysum, then Lavender and “roll” the bottle between your palms to marry the two oils. Then add Lemongrass (repeat rolling). And so on until you have added the V6 or coconut oil. Some people put the blend into an empty 15ml oil bottle. I did this then added an Aroma glide roller filament to the top so I could easily roll it on. You could also keep it in a glass dropper bottle. The rule of thumb for how many times you might apply this blend varies but most folks apply 3-4 times a day. |
