What this is about
A good base oil, a hint of scent
A body oil at its core is a skin-friendly base oil and optionally a few drops of essential oil for scent. Almond, jojoba or macadamia oil are pleasant bases that absorb well.
If you like it really simple, take just the base oil, with no scent at all.

The base recipe
- Base: about 100 ml of almond, jojoba or macadamia oil into a dark bottle.
- Scent optional: a few drops of essential oil, sparingly, shake well.
- Apply: best on slightly damp skin after showering, spread thinly.
- Test tolerance: check a new mix on a small area first.
- Shelf life: store cool and dark, use up within a few weeks.
Said honestly
A homemade body oil is simple, cheap and as plain or fine as you like, but essential oils belong in it only strongly diluted and sparingly. It is care, not treatment, and we make no healing promises. For sensitive skin, rather go without scent and always test first. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
