Blending Procedure:

1. Combine the essential oils in a small glass vial and allow them to mellow for a few weeks. (This step is optional but will enhance the aroma of the finished product.)
   
   
2. Place all ingredients in an 8 ounce flip top plastic bottle or a glass bottle. You can use either but since plastic slowly absorbs essential oils glass is a better choice. On the other hand, it''''s easier to dispense the product using a flip top plastic bottle that you can squeeze.
   
   
3. Label and store in a dark place in the bathroom, away from direct sunlight. This product will naturally separate due to the oil/water mixture -- this is normal and one of the things that makes the product so special. Shake before each use and you''ll see what I mean. To use, simply shake well to emulsify the ingredients, then apply to your skin. Feel how smooth and silky it is! You may need to rest a bit before putting on your clothes so you don''''t stain them with the oils, but the feel of your skin after using this product makes it worth the wait. Enjoy!
