Perfumes are usually full of harmful chemicals that can actually cause health problems. But did you know that the basic ingredients in any perfume come from essential oils? So why not make your own perfumes with a little bit of mineral oil, a dash of alcohol and the essential oils that you prefer for fragrance (rose, geranium, sandalwood, lavender, lemon, and papaya are all good choices). It’s fun to mix your own creations…and you’ll be treating your body to a healthy alternative to chemical perfumes.
