Lavender Massage Oil

 

1/2 cup sunflower oil

1/2 cup grape seed oil

1/2 cup sweet almond oil

3 TBSP dried lavender blossom

20 drops bergamot essential oil

 

Using a glass measuring cup, measure out the 3 base oils and pour them

into a small saucepan. Place pan over low heat; stir continuously with

nonporous utensil until oils are completely blended.

 

Remove pan from heat. Add lavender blossoms; let blossoms steep in hot

oil for 10 minutes. Filter oil through cheese cloth into a 2 cup glass

container, discard blossoms. Add 20 drops of bergamot oil to filtered oil.

 

Using a wire whisk, thoroughly mix oils to combine. Let perfumed oil

cool. Pour into glass bottles with tight lids or stoppers.

 

For a variation, substitute 3 TBSP of dried mint leaves for the lavender

blossoms and 30 drops of grapefruit essential oil for the bergamot.
