From body butter and shaving creams to diffuser blends, the raw ingredients at N-Essentials make a great addition to any homemade essential oil recipe. By making your own body scrubs and creams with essential oils, you're investing in quality ingredients upfront. This way you avoid the ongoing cost of repeatedly buying over-the-counter products.

You're also getting the added benefit of knowing exactly what's in your skincare products and being able to customise them to your specific needs.

We hope you enjoyed our last edition of homemade recipes using essential oils! Here are a few more of our top recipes where essential oils shine! With N-Essentials, you can create a variety of products with just a handful of our natural ingredients.

What Are the Benefits of Creating Your Own Skincare Products at Home?

Incorporating essential oils into your homemade skincare products gives you control over what ingredients go into your skincare regimen and can save you a considerable amount of money in the long term. Here's how:

Cost-Effective

Essential oils are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. This means that even though a bottle might seem small, it can last for a long time because you typically only need a few drops per use.

Bulk Purchasing

When making your own skincare products, you often buy ingredients like coconut oil, and essential oils in bulk, which can be much more cost-effective compared to buying small quantities.

Control Over Ingredients

Making your own products allows you to customise the ingredients. This means you can avoid any allergens, irritants, or simply ingredients you don't like. This can also save you money because you're not wasting it on products that don't work for your skin.

Reduce Waste

When you make your own products, you can store them in recycled containers, reducing the amount of packaging waste associated with commercial products. In the long run, this eco-friendly approach can also save you money.

Personalisation

Instead of buying different products for different uses, you can create multipurpose products at home with essential oils. For example, homemade body butter with lavender essential oil can work as a moisturiser or a fragrant massage cream.

Here are some of our other favourite recipes using essential oils:
