Sugar Scrub - Deep-acting refreshment
Madagascar vanilla (Vanilla planifolia)
Well-known and evoking nostalgic feelings; for an atmospheric and romantic atmosphere. Since the time of the ancient Aztecs, vanilla has been appreciated and often used in perfumes. It is one of the most popular flavors in the world and at the same time one of the most expensive to produce. The Vanilla planifolia plant is an orchid with yellow-white flowers that produce odorless pods and beans. After a labor-intensive harvest, the beans are ground into small pieces to preserve the natural vanilla flavor. A two-step extraction process captures the components from the beans to create the absolute. We combine this absolute with Fractionated Coconut Oil and the result is dōTERRA Madagascar Vanilla. Use it as an engaging personal fragrance or add a few drops to a bath oil to enjoy a luxurious moment surrounded by the exquisite aroma of Madagascar Vanilla.
Ingredients for a sugar scrub:
10 drops of Madagascar Vanilla
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar
Preparation:
Mix the brown sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla sugar and essential oil in a bowl. Store the mixture in a sealable glass container. Apply to the skin as needed and gently massage in.
Bath salts – pure relaxation
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
With its distinctive aroma and countless uses, lavender has become one of the most popular essential oils. The Romans and Egyptians used lavender for bathing. Since then, many have discovered the countless other benefits of lavender. Lavender is often used in cosmetics and perfumes because it can reduce the appearance of blemishes and soothe skin irritations. In addition, its soothing properties are often used to relax the body and lift the mood. Its versatile benefits make lavender an oil that should always be at hand.
Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) - Heart/Base
Soothing and relaxing, clary sage essential oil is popular for its calming and soothing properties. It also helps to balance emotions. The main chemical constituent of clary sage is linalyl acetate, which belongs to the ester group and is responsible for the highly relaxing, soothing and balancing effects of the essential oil.
Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) - Base note
Vetiver, a member of the grass family, is grown for a number of reasons. Unlike other grasses, vetiver's root system grows downward. This makes it ideal for counteracting erosion and stabilizing the soil. Vetiver has a strong, exotic and complex aroma that is often used in perfumes. Its calming and grounding properties make it an ideal oil for massage therapy. It can also be used before bed to create a soothing environment.
Ingredients:
10 drops of lavender
5 drops of clary sage
5 drops of vetiver
1 cup of Epsom salt
1/2 cup of sea salt
Preparation:
Mix the Epsom salt with the sea salt. Add the essential oils and mix well.Store in a sealable container.
For a relaxing bath, add a few teaspoons to warm water and enjoy.

Don't worry, we have the solution for you. As you are probably already aware, you can use the oils not only for a symptom or a specific topic. For this reason, you will be pleased to hear that you can also use the same oils as the bath salts to make a soothing spray for long car journeys.

Alternatively, it can be used in a diffuser in the bedroom for a peaceful night's sleep.
