Essential oil substitutions always depend on the issue at hand, the intention of the blend, the person’s age, health, preferences… and so many other factors! Sometimes it can be fun to experiment, and create your own unique blends using the oils you have in your collection. You can use this recipe as a guideline for the amount of each oil to use along with the carriers. One really great way to decide with confidence what oils work as good substitutions is to learn applied essential oil chemistry. We have a free webinar where Aromahead’s founder, Andrea Butje, will walk you through essential oil chemistry concepts that you can apply to any blends you’re making! When you have an in-depth knowledge of essential oils, including their chemical compositions and therapeutic properties, understanding which oils make good substitutions will come more easily to you!

Hello Lindsey, You can safely add the essential oils to the salt or the jojoba. The important thing is to add jojoba as the carrier will disperse the essential oils. It's preference in this case.
This makes such a wonderful shower scrub, thankyou Aromahead for suggesting alittle more jojoba for the shower ❣
You're so welcome!
Loving your videos and feeling inspired to blend some products just for me! ❤
That's wonderful, Susan! We're so happy to hear that you're feeling inspired to make products. We'd love to hear how it goes! 💗
Would love to try to recreate it but don't have all the oils you've used what oils can I use that are similar in aroma

Can almond oil be used instead of jojoba oil?
Yes, Almond oil would be a lovely substitute for Jojoba in this recipe 💜
@@aromatherapyoils thank you
Don't you blend your EOs with the jojoba carrier before adding to salts?

Could you substitute Rosemary or Thyme oil for the Rock rose?
Hello:) You could substitute Thyme ct linalool. Frankincense for this blend would be a great substitute as well. Let us know how it goes!
