How To Make Cedarwood and Ylang Ylang Bath Oil At Home
Cedarwood & Ylang Ylang Botanical Bath Elixir. The exquisite essential oils infused in this bath elixir were thoughtfully selected for their captivating, exotic aromas and their ability to induce relaxation. While Vanilla Absolute or Co2 extract offers a delightful scent, it's worth noting that it can be a costly choice. Alternatively, you have the option to craft your own vanilla-scented oil by immersing a vanilla pod in almond or jojoba oil for several weeks to create a nuanced blend. This homemade vanilla-infused oil can serve as a foundation for crafting your personalized perfume oil or enhancing your bath and body oil combinations (remember to remove the pod before use).
Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) oil, recognized for its soothing and sedative qualities, plays a central role in Indonesian wedding traditions due to its aphrodisiac effects. Although its rich and sweet aroma possesses alluring qualities, it's wise to temper its potency by blending it with complementary oils and using it judiciously in modest quantities.
Application Instructions for ylang ylang bath oil. This versatile elixir can be employed as a lavish body oil or a fragrant bath oil. Alternatively, you can massage it onto your skin prior to entering the bath. If the suggested oils don't align with your preferences, don't hesitate to experiment with custom blends—ensure that the total drops remain within the specified limits, with a maximum of 2% (40 drops in 3.5 fl oz/100ml) of the overall base oil. The essential oil proportions indicated in the recipe correspond to roughly 1%; if you desire a more pronounced aroma, you can safely double these quantities.
Keep in mind that oil and water do not amalgamate, causing the oil to float on the water's surface and potentially creating a slippery bath environment.
