When you think of essential oils you usually think of aromatherapy. But I have recently learned that essential oils are much more than that. They can be used various ways in a number of combinations to help you have a toxin free home and lifestyle. For example, you can replace some beauty products by creating non-toxic products with natural essential oils. Simply Earth essential oils have no artificial scents or fillers, they are 100% pure oils. So, they are the best oils to do this.

I was excited to be gifted Simply Earth‘s August Essential Oils Recipe Box to review. Prior to this box, I did not know much about essential oils, so I was eager to learn more.

What are essential oils?

Essential oils are extracted from plants. They are concentrated and retain their natural smell. Essential oils have many uses outside of aromatherapy. This is where Simply Earth‘s essential oils come in.

What is Simply Earth?

Simply Earth is a monthly subscription box started with the goal of making a natural home fun and easy. To do that, Simply Earth delivers high quality oils straight to your home via a monthly subscription box. The oils are loved from farm to bottle and sold at honest prices by cutting out the middleman and working with the best farms. Simply Earth essential oils are free of fragrances and fillers and they make sure that no contaminants ever make it into the bottle. Simply Earth‘s box is a great way to learn about essential oils and begin making fun recipes that make your home more natural.

Subscription Box

The Simply Earth subscription box comes with essential oils and toxin-free recipes. When you initially subscribe you receive two boxes–an essential oil recipe box and a big bonus box. The recipe box is curated by a team, including an aromatherapist, and contains four full-size, therapeutic grade, pure essential oils, and supplies and recipe cards to create six natural home, body, and wellness products. They are all natural and non-toxic items. The big bonus box includes carrier oils, coconut oil, beeswax, and containers to help you make recipes with your next six boxes. The carrier oils are important as they help dilute the essential oils, which are too concentrated to use alone. Every month the box has a theme.

Hey Beautiful!

For the month of August, the Simply Earth theme is Hey Beautiful. That essential oil recipe box was curated to help make your facial care routine toxin free to let your natural beauty shine. The box comes with four essential oils–Citrus Burst, Grapefruit, Copaiba, and Juniper Berry. It also comes with lip balm tubes, cotton rounds and a spray bottle. The box comes with six recipes to help you prepare toxin free facial care products. The recipes range from two to 25 minutes long to prepare. Below are the six facial care recipes that you can prepare to begin a toxin free beauty routine:

Citrus Face Mist – This recipe can help you create a mist to spray your face throughout the day to refresh, set makeup and balance your skin’s oil production.
Sweet Citrus Lip Balm – This recipe creates a lip balm to help moisturize your lips.
Citrus Summer Diffuser Blend – This recipe creates an oil blend perfect for diffusing in an open room.
Sweet Lips Exfoliating Lip Scrub – This recipe creates a scrub that reveals soft, smooth and beautiful lips.
Radiate Joy Roll On – This recipe creates a roll on that you can apply on your pulse points to support your inner and outward joy.
Cucumber Soothing Eye Mask – This recipe creates a mask that you can apply under your eyes to reduce dark eye circles.

Radiating Joy

One of the recipe cards in the box that I tried is the Radiate Joy Roll On. It is a two minute recipe that has just three ingredients–approximately 10 ml of coconut oil, 2 drops of grapefruit essential oil and 4 drops of citrus burst essential oil blend. You add the oils into a roll-on bottle from the big bonus box, close it, shake it and you then have a great smelling roll on. The instructions state to apply it to your pulse points to support your inner and outward joy. It is very easy to prepare and even has a sticker to affix to the bottle so that you always know that scent is in the bottle. The scent I created is citrusy, which I loved. I will definitely be using it daily to give me some pep.

I also learned that each month, 13% of Simply Earth’s profits are donated to organizations that are on the front lines of fighting human trafficking. It is great to know that this company is paying it forward and supporting organizations addressing a very serious and complex issue in this world.
