Easy DIY Frankincense & Grapeseed Shampoo Recipe
Ready to whip up your own batch of natural goodness? Here’s a simple recipe:
Yields: Approximately 8 oz (1 cup)
Prep time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- ½ cup unscented liquid castile soap
- ½ cup distilled water (or you can use brewed and cooled chamomile tea for extra soothing benefits)
- 1 tablespoon Aloe Vera gel (optional, for extra moisture and soothing)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Glycerin (optional, for added hydration)
- 40-60 drops (approx. 2-3 ml) of Frankincense & Grapeseed Essential Oil from your dropper bottle.
Equipment:
- A clean, empty shampoo bottle (an 8oz or larger recycled bottle works perfectly!)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- A small funnel (optional, for easier pouring)
Instructions:
- Combine Liquids: Carefully pour the liquid castile soap and distilled water (or chamomile tea) into your clean shampoo bottle.
- Add Optional Boosters: If using, add the Aloe Vera gel and/or Vegetable Glycerin.
- Introduce the Star: Add 40-60 drops of your Frankincense & Grapeseed Essential Oil into the bottle.
- Mix Gently: Secure the cap on the bottle and shake gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Don't shake too vigorously, as castile soap can create a lot of foam.
Simplest Hack: Don't have castile soap on hand? You can also enhance your current mild, unscented shampoo by adding about 20-30 drops of the Frankincense & Grapeseed Essential Oil to an 8oz bottle of shampoo. Shake well!
How This DIY Shampoo Supports Your Health & Wellbeing
This homemade shampoo isn't just about clean hair; it's a holistic experience:
- Skin Health: The Frankincense and Grapeseed oil work together to nourish your scalp, soothe potential irritation, and reduce blemishes, fostering a healthy foundation for your hair.
- Relaxation & Emotional Balance: The warm, earthy, and grounding aroma of Frankincense transforms your shower into a mini aromatherapy session, helping to calm the senses and promote a peaceful state of mind.
Tips for Using Your DIY Frankincense Shampoo:
- Shake it Up: Always shake the bottle gently before each use, as natural ingredients can sometimes separate.
- Scalp First: Apply a small amount to your wet hair, focusing on massaging it into your scalp to stimulate circulation and allow the beneficial oils to work their magic.
- Rinse Well: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Follow Up (Optional): DIY shampoos made with castile soap are effective cleansers but can sometimes leave hair feeling different than commercial shampoos. You might want to follow up with your favorite natural conditioner or a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse (1-2 tablespoons of ACV in 1 cup of water) to restore pH balance and add shine.
- Patch Test: While our Frankincense & Grapeseed oil is skin-safe and pre-diluted, it's always wise to do a small patch test if you have particularly sensitive skin, especially when trying any new product.
- Storage: Store your DIY shampoo in a cool, dark place. If you used fresh herbal tea, it’s best to make smaller batches that you can use within a week or two, or store it in the refrigerator to prolong its freshness.
Beyond Shampoo: Unlock More Benefits
Don't forget, your Frankincense & Grapeseed Essential Oil Dropper Bottle is wonderfully versatile! Use it:
- For Skincare: Apply directly to clean skin—especially on the face, neck, or dry areas—for a nourishing, glow-enhancing boost.8
- For Aromatherapy: Dab onto wrists, temples, or behind ears to enjoy the calming aroma.
- For Massage: Gently apply to sore muscles or joints for natural tension relief.
