If you’re looking for inspiration to make your own bath and body products with essential oils, this is it!  I’ve compiled a list of 100 ideas that will help you look and smell amazing.

If you’re new to essential oils, they’re natural, highly concentrated extracts from the aromatic parts of plants.  I started using essential oils last year to make simple homemade cleaning products and got hooked.  Now I sell them in my online shop!

Personally, I love essential oils because they smell great and don’t have the hazards of artificial fragrances (source).

There’s also research supporting that aromatherapy can improve the health of your mind, body, and spirit.

By making your own bath and body products, you’ll know exactly what’s inside.  (Unlike the cancer-causing chemicals found in 98 common soaps and shampoos by the Center for Environmental Health.)

You’ll save tons of money, too!

I’ve been accumulating these homemade bath and body product ideas on my DIY Mama board on Pinterest, and I’m excited to share 100 of my faves.
