Relaxing Oil for Bath and Body

Relaxing Oil
This therapeutic blend has a softly sweet, floral-fruity aroma known to relieve anxiety and calm the nerves. It acts as a muscle relaxant, easing tight, tense muscles and often inducing deep sleep. This oil is the perfect addition to the evening bath or to use during a massage when you have nowhere to go afterward except to the Land of Nod. 
Recommended for: all skin types, even oily
Use: as desired
Follow with: moisturize body after bath or shower if necessary
Prep time: approximately 10 minutes
Blending tools: shake bottle prior to use
Store in: glass bottle or plastic squeeze bottle
Yield: approximately 1 cup
Ingredients
1 cup jojoba base oil
40 drops Roman chamomile essential oil
40 drops ylang-ylang essential oil
Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a storage container.

Wow....!!! That is really a great thing. Relaxing oil or essential oil helps a lot in the treatment of the body. Now a days, there are many recognized companies that provide the service of essential oils. While surfing on the internet, I found an exquisite website, named as, Camden Grey, that provides soap making supplies as well as various types of essential oils for soap making.
