groc. list
Add items to your shopping list
- 3.3 oz jojoba oil (for oily skin) or grape seed (for dry skin)
- 30 drops citronella (lemon balm) essential oil
- 15 drops cloves essential oil
- 5 drops carnation oil
go view your shopping list

Super-simple, as always: blend all ingredients in a glass or safe-plastic bottle.
Shake the bottle well before each use because the oils may separate.

This fragrant blend provides a mighty dose of antioxidants in citronella and eucalyptus. This is useful if you suffer from a sunburn or have lots of insect bites. Feel free to use another oil to suit your skin’s condition. Olive and grape seed are my favorites for dry and flaky skin.
