Wash hands after application and avoid touching the eyes or other sensitive areas.

Why These Botanicals?

Jojoba Creates a lightweight, silky massage base with excellent glide without leaving skin feeling excessively greasy.
Roman Chamomile Contributes a soft, herbaceous, apple-like aroma that fits beautifully into evening aromatic rituals.
Lavender Brings its familiar floral-herbal character and helps give the blend its relaxed nighttime profile.
Sweet Orange Introduces a gentle citrus brightness that keeps the floral notes from becoming too heavy.
Palmarosa Adds a soft rosy-green note and bridges the citrus and floral elements of the blend.
Ylang Ylang Complete Rounds out the formula with a rich, sweet floral note that gives the finished oil a luxurious aromatic finish.

Make It Your Ritual

This recipe makes approximately one ounce, making it a convenient size for bedside use or for testing the blend before preparing a larger batch.

Because essential-oil drop sizes vary by bottle and viscosity, drop-based DIY recipes provide an approximate rather than laboratory-exact dilution. Keep the stated number of essential-oil drops consistent when recreating this recipe.
