Servings: 1 liquid cup

Equipment

  • 1 spray bottle - amber glass is best

Ingredients

  • 1 cup witch hazel alcohol free
  • 30 drops essential oils choose between: lavender, orange, lemon, lime, frankincense, lemongrass, tea tree, rosemary

Instructions

  • Add 1 cup of witch hazel to your spray bottle.
  • Add the essential oils of your choice to the spray bottle and shake to combine. Give it a good shake before each use. Refer to the notes below for my recommended essential oils depending on how you want to use the spray.
  • See notes below for customizing the amount of essential oils.

Notes

Here are my recommendations for different essential oil combinations depending on your desired use:
Static Spray
  • 20 drops lime essential oil (or lemon or orange)
  • 10 drops lavender essential oil
Static Spray- version 2
  • 30 drops lemongrass essential oil
Face Toner Spray
  • 5 drops lavender essential oil
  • 10 drops frankincense essential oil
  • 5 drops tea tree essential oil
Upholstery Spray or Shoe Deodorizer
  • 5 drops tea tree essential oil
  • 10 drops lemon essential oil
  • 10 drops rosemary essential oil
  • 5 drops lavender essential oil
If you want to change the amount of essential oils, refer to this information for properly diluting them (my recipes above use 30 drops or less, which is well below the 96 drops maximum):
  • 2% dilution (suitable for most people): 12 drops of essential oils per 1 oz of carrier liquid
  • 1% dilution (most suitable for children, during pregnancy, for sensitive skin, and around pets): 6 drops of essential oils per 1 oz of carrier liquid
  • This means that for 8 oz of liquid, which is equal to 1 cup, you can do up to 96 drops of essential oils for a 2% dilution (8 oz x 12 drops = 96 drops).
