As a certified aromatherapist, I make all of my own beauty & body care products! It's insane just how many harmful chemicals & toxins are allowed to be in skincare products in the USA - think all big brand names. Seriously. Caring for my own body with the following essential oils, I felt called to share their specific benefits & uses catered toward women to celebrate Women's History Month! These are just a few essential oils for women that I love working with & thought you might enjoy too.
Rose aids with irregular ovulation & low libido.
