The Apothecary Sunflower Citrus Essential Oil

Sunflower Citrus Essential Oil

The name says it all: this synergy is bursting with energetic and sparkling citrus! We figured out a way to bottle sunshine, and now you can diffuse it or make it into a post-workout gym or yoga bag (or mat) spray.

You all know and love how deodorizing and antibacterial citrus (Orange Oil) oils can be, so perhaps after cooking some especially fragrant dishes, diffuse this blend to clear the air. You can also make it into a mist for shoes to kick the stink outta yo soul(less), yo! Wink.

Lemon, Grapefruit, and Lime are detoxifying, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial, so you could add 10 drops of Sunflower Citrus to a ½ cup of salt and soak your feet after an especially long hike or run. Cinnamon Leaf adds an extra boost of germ-fighting, so this blend could also be helpful in a toilet scrub, countertop spray, or as a grease-remover.

There are whispers of Cinnamon Leaf and Ylang Ylang to sweeten the deal and add some balance and depth to this blend. All you Ylang Ylang naysayers do not fear: the minute percentage of this essential oil just makes this blend smells like candy.

Ingredients: Citrus paradisii (Grapefruit)*, Citrus limonum (Lemon)*, Citrus limetta (Lime)*, Citrus reticulata (Mandarin)*, Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Cinnamon Leaf)*, Cananga odorata (Ylang Ylang)*
