non-mlm essential oil brand | family owned

having been what’s now called ‘green-washed,’ I used mlm based essential oils before knowing any better. back around 2015 I was approached by a friend who sold doterra. I immediately read up on the subject and blindly thought nothing of the fact that I was being way overcharged and misled. it was a big bright new world for me to obsess over.

I diffused, made roller bottle blends, I added it to lotions, I even remember drinking some of them in water.

then the YL came and my SIL dipped her toes in. I had a new supply.

around 2019 or so a friend approached me about working for a massive online store, melaleuca. having just moved into our first owned home, we got a huge box delivered. oils, cleaners of all kinds, vitamins, you name it. at the time, I didn’t even try to sell it. everyone knew what a pyramid scheme looks like. boss babes and cult-like faith in product.

if you have it in yourself to find pyramid marketing a morally neutral activity then good for you. I just can’t do it anymore.

I have always loved the crunchy way of life and knew a real source of eo’s was necessary. the hunt was cut short when I realized there were still very few options to chose from.

I found simply earth, I fell in love with it (of course I did). its a family owned business that started because of stinky feet :) They do charity work in the fight against human trafficking: donating profits to aid against human trafficking and bringing awareness to the realities of sex workers.

they offer themed monthly subscription boxes that always come loaded with information and freebies.

Rose Bath Soak Recipe

disclaimer: this blog contains affiliate links.

Herbal Bath Soak

ingredients:
5lb epsom salt or magnesium (buy here or here)
3 cups organic rose petals (I usually go for this brand)
4 tablespoons sweet almond oil
2 tablespoons colloidal oats
1 tablespoon rose absolute oil
40 drops ylang ylang eo
10 drops clary sage eo
germall natural preservative (to prevent molding of organic material)

this recipe is customizable. you can use any mix of herbals and oils for to make bath salts, soaks, and teas. it makes 5-6 one pound containers (depending on the amount of petals/herbs you use).

instructions:
mix oils and preservative in a small bowl.
mix epsom salt, petals/herbs, colloidal oats, and sea salt in a large bowl.
dump your oil and preservative mixture into your dry ingredient bowl.
stir gently with wooden spoon until combined.
separate into your air tight containers.

tips:
sometimes less expensive brands of epsom salt have extra ingredients. use cation and check ingredient list when deciding to use epsom salt vs magnesium.

mixing your oil and preservative mixture with the rose petals, before adding it to the salt, can decrease stir time.

organic ingredients are crucial for this. which adds to the price tag, I know. the point of all of this is to detox from chemicals, right? why bathe in them.

you can use regular oats for this, I recommend putting them into a blender, reducing them to powder form. using colloidal oats will ensure you’re getting top quality products and possible benefits!

sweet almond oil is made of tree nuts. if you do have a tree nut allergy, I recommend using organic jojoba oil.

I charge $15 per 1lb container. this is enough to cover overhead expense plus interest for the card you charged. ok byeeee. thank you. byeee.

disclaimer from my husband: get a overflow cover and a drain cover to prevent organic materials from clogging your pipes! wipe tub out immediately after bathing to prevent tub staining. ye be warned!
