The Best Essential Oils to Add to Your Body Wash

Adding nourishing essential oils to your body wash can do wonders for your skin. Our oils are sure to upgrade your skincare routine by soothing damaged skin, decreasing signs of aging, and improving skin tone. Simply add 6 drops per 1 oz of body wash, lather, and embrace the goodness!

Our Top Picks

Relaxation 

This acclaimed synergy blend is perfect for winding down after a long day. It also happens to contain a skin-nourishing powerhouse trio: Lavender, Patchouli, and Geranium. Lavender is touted for its ability to balance the skin’s sebum while Patchouli is an all-in-one oil that is great in blends for skin conditions, such as dryness, inflammation, scars, eczema. When you top these oils off with Geranium’s skin radiating qualities, you have a wonderfully effective body wash addition.

Focus, Focus, Focus

Packed with skin rejuvenating oils, this Ok For Kids synergy blend is perfect for your morning shower. On top of Lavender and Geranium, the blend contains Grapefruit and Pink Pepper to beautify the skin and support circulation, while Cedarwood and Sandalwood act as astringents while adding an anti-inflammatory boost. Its aroma is perfectly balanced with sweet and floral notes.  

Rose Geranium

A wondrous ingredient for skincare, Rose Geranium essential oil is packed with skin regenerative properties to promote healthy, youthful-looking skin. Your shower routine will be transformed by its sweet, floral, fruity, and earthy aroma.

Cellulite

At one point or another, most of us ladies will experience dimples on our thighs and legs. Putting your body wash to work by adding Cellulite synergy blend is a perfect way to combat those pesky lumps. This blend reduces the appearance of cellulite with essential oils like Black and Pink Pepper, Grapefruit, and Litsea, which tighten and tone the skin.
