instrUctions...

1. all blends keep for 4-6 months if stored in
   airtight dark glass jars. when mixing oils, it’s
   best to use a glass stirring rod – try oils4Life
   Glass stirring rod (£1.19, oils4life.co.uk) – or
   use a stainless steel whisk, spatula or spoon,
   as glass and stainless steel are easy to clean
   and don’t absorb oil.


2. Mix each blend in a glass bowl.


3. Decant into a 30ml dark glass bottle.
