Detox

I read a recipe for a bath detox oil, which I wanted to purchase. It
contained:

10 drops of juniper oil
5 drops of mandarin oil
5 drops of fennel
and was mixed with wheatgerm or grapeseed oil base.

Could I buy the oils from you? And, how much of the base do I add to the
formula?

Thank you for your enquiry. Yes I have all these oils available. This amount of oils in your recipe would be suitable for 45ml (3 tablesp approx) of base oil (the strongest it would be safe) or if you wanted it very weak go to 90-100ml of base oil (6 tablespoons approx).

I would recommend almond oil (finer quality & I sell it) rather than the lower grade grapeseed (but they both do the same job). Note both almond & grapeseed will float on top - if you want it miscible i.e. right through the water rather than on top then use milk as the base instead of oil (as long as you do not have a dairy intolerance). If you use grapeseed or almond then use a plant spray with dilute washing up liquid & spray the bath afterwards if you have a problem with the oil remaining on the bath surface & being very slippy for other users.

I supply green mandarin which is harvested when the mandarin is still green & as a result has a more complex scent - more like orange blossom (Neroli) - much better than a normal mandarin.

I am delighted to see someomeone blending their own & experimenting -good luck! Julie
