The delicate and exotic vanilla orchid gives us the bean from which vanilla CO2 is extracted. Vanilla's deeply sensual and slightly spicy
aroma has been used throughout history in perfumes and as an aphrodisiac.
This gentle oil is ideal for relieving anxiety and tension in adults and
calming and soothing infants and children.

FACIAL CARE JUST FOR YOU!

Essential oils can be used safely on the face, provided you take care in selection and dilution of the oils. Try making your own:

Skin Toner: combine 1/2 cup spring water or other base with 20 drops essential oil in a glass jar and store in a cool, dark place for a day. Mist or splash on the face as desired taking care to avoid getting into the eyes.

Face Mask: combine 1-2 drops of essential oil with 1-2 tablespoons of base, mix well and moisten with water, green tea, milk or fresh fruit juice. Apply masks to clean, damp skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes.

Which Oils to Choose:

For dry skin, try:
geranium, jasmine absolute, lavender, neroli, palmarosa

For oily skin, try:
Cypress, geranium, lavender, sandalwood and grapefruit
