Without a doubt, crystals and gemstones have been a rising trend for their beauty, but also for their healing properties. Coming from a family who has practiced aromatherapy for many years and getting first-hand blending advice from my grandmother and founder of Hawaiian Essential, Francis Hodge, I’ve been privy to some well-kept secrets about what goes into creating such special formulas. And now, I’m super stoked to share this knowledge with you, along with my own special blends. With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, we decided what better time to create a series of sensual scents that combine aromatherapy with the crystal craze? Read on for your affordable, approachable guide to creating your very own travel size roll-on crystal oil perfume!
How to Make Roll-On Oil Blends
The process is the same for each oil. What sets each option apart is the custom blends you’re able to create. The options are endless, and you can continue to explore the more you learn about each of the oil and crystal properties.
Materials:
– essential oils
– fractionated coconut oil
– chosen crystal
– plastic transfer pipettes
– transparent glass roller bottles
– hammer
Now, let’s do this!
The first thing you want to do is use a hammer to break down your crystals, unless you already have small pieces that will fit into the roll-on bottle. Pro tip: Wrap each crystal in a piece of fabric and hammer over the fabric on a cement surface, instead of hammering directly onto the crystal. This will keep the pieces from flying all over the place.
Next, choose your favorite pieces and place them into the bottle. Using the transfer pipette, fill the bottle with the fractionated coconut oil, leaving a quarter inch or so at the top so you can add your oil blends. Finally, add your essential oils in by dripping them directly into the bottle. To finish off, fill up any remaining space with more of the fractionated coconut oil, add the roller top and cap it off.
Here are four recipes I created for you!
Sensual Sanctuary
This blend has to be my personal favorite. Each scent on its own is absolutely divine and worthy of wearing by itself, but the combined essence of these oils together creates a tingling sensation throughout the body (I can attest to this personally, and so can about a dozen ladies at Brit + Co). This is the ultimate sensual blend, and I’ve noticed how it changes in scent depending on each individual’s pheromones. The black tourmaline inspired this scent, because when you feel good on the inside with flowing positive thoughts and emotions, you are more attractive and vibrant to those around you.
