In the world of organic beauty, nothing compares to the purity and simplicity of DIY skincare. If you’re looking for a way to elevate your self-care routine with natural, nourishing ingredients, this Lavender & Rose Petal Infused Olive Oil Body Shower Oil is the perfect addition to your ritual. Infused with the calming scent of lavender and the delicate, romantic essence of rose petals, this shower oil hydrates, soothes, and softens the skin while transforming your daily shower into a spa-like experience.
Why Choose an Infused Shower Oil?
Unlike commercial body washes that often contain synthetic fragrances and harsh surfactants, an infused shower oil works in harmony with your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Olive oil, a key ingredient in this DIY blend, is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, making it a powerhouse for hydration and skin nourishment. The added infusion of dried botanicals enhances the oil’s therapeutic properties, leaving your skin silky, radiant, and beautifully scented.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic extra virgin olive oil (or substitute with jojoba or sweet almond oil for a lighter feel)
- ¼ cup dried organic lavender buds
- ¼ cup dried organic rose petals
- 5-10 drops lavender essential oil (optional, for enhanced fragrance)
- 5-10 drops rose essential oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional, for extra skin nourishment)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Infusion:
- In a clean, dry glass jar, combine the dried lavender and rose petals.
- Pour the olive oil over the botanicals, ensuring they are fully submerged.
2. Infusion Methods:
Slow Infusion (Recommended for Deep Fragrance & Benefits – 2-4 Weeks)
- Seal the jar and place it in a warm, dark place for 2-4 weeks.
- Shake gently every few days to distribute the botanicals.
Quick Infusion (If You’re in a Hurry – 1-2 Hours)
- Place the jar in a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over simmering water.
- Heat on low for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally (do not boil).
3. Strain & Bottle:
- Once infused, strain the oil through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the petals and lavender.
- Stir in the essential oils and vitamin E oil (if using).
- Transfer the infused oil into a clean glass pump or dropper bottle.
How to Use Your Shower Oil:
- After cleansing in the shower, apply a few drops onto damp skin, massaging gently.
