Safety Information

  • Safety & Dilution: This blend was made at less than a 1% dilution, making it gentle and suitable for regular use on the scalp and hair.
  • Kid Safety: Safe for kids 5+. For kids under 5, omit the essential oils.
  • Pet Safety: N/A
  • Shelf Life: Store in the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.
  • Application Method: Lotions And Gels

Directions

  1. 1. In a small saucepan, combine flaxseeds and water.
  2. 2. Simmer gently for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. 3. As soon as it begins to thicken, strain immediately using a fine mesh sieve. If you wait, it will set and separation is impossible.
  4. 4. Pour the strained gel into a clean glass jar
  5. 5. Stir in a blend of essential oils. We like 3 drops of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and 2 drops of Rosemary ct verbenone.
  6. 6. How to Use - Pour a small amount from the jar, then gently cut it off with your fingers to get just what you need. Rub the gel between your palms and scrunch into damp or wet hair. Let air dry or diffuse as usual.
  7. 7. Note: This gel is slippery and acts much like egg whites.

Hi, my name is Karen Williams. As a professional aromatherapist, I love to create amazing blends that inspire and promote a healthier lifestyle. I got my start many years ago as a registered nurse working in the hospital system. But along the way I knew something was missing. I wanted to help people more holistically. Then, I discovered essential oils, and my approach to life changed forever. Now, I’ve made it my mission to share what I’ve learned about aromatherapy with my friends, family, and the world. Because - life is so much better with health, happiness, and community.
