How to Use Essential Oils
Essential oils are extracted from plant material like leaves, bark, rinds or stems. Using your creativity, essential oils can be utilized in almost every walk of life. Whether you are a licensed esthetician, massage therapist, own a cleaning business, have severe chemical allergies, make DIY skin care and candles or any of the other occupations that could utilize essential oils, RainShadow Labs can help. In this article, we're going to go over some uses for essential oils you may not have considered.
Spa Treatments
We have worked with hundreds of spas and thousands of estheticians to provide the necessary essential oils to elevate their services and bring additional value to their clients. Some of the ways our clients have maximized their profits through essential oil use are:
- Adding to Product: Adding high quality essential oils to your masks, creams, lotions, serums and hair care products can increase relaxation and promote a healthy sense of wellness. In addition, depending on the oil selection, essential oils can be used in anti aging or soothing skincare products.
- Build a Healthy Back Bar: Adding a private label brand of essential oils and/or skin care products, with your company logo, will keep your clients coming back time and again. Customers will feel the difference essential oils can make in their homes and lives.
- Diffusing Through Treatment Rooms: Diffusing essential oils through treatment and waiting rooms can promote a peaceful, relaxing environment without the side effects chemicals can have on people with scent and chemical sensitiviti`es. Your clients will leave rejuvenated and looking forward to their return visit.
Massage Therapists
When a client comes in for a massage session, they usually have a goal in mind for that particular session. These goals can range from muscular tension relief, stress reduction, improved circulation, relief from chronic conditions and overall mental wellness. Massage therapists have long been utilizing essential oils during their massage sessions. Let's talk about some of the ways this is done:
- Adding Directly to Product: Adding essential oils directly to the massage oil, cream or lotion is one of the most popular ways of incorporating them into a massage. The other is the obvious physical benefits. For example, adding a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil to your oil or cream may help with client relaxation. Or add Lemon Lime Blend to help with mental focus.
- Diffusion: Diffusing essential oils in the air during a session can promote feelings of peace and contentment. Essential oils such as Sandalwood Essential Oil (absolute) or Yuzu Essential Oil are popular for this.
- Add a Custom Line of Products: Often, your clients may ask to purchase your massage cream, lotion or essential oils for home use. This is an opportunity for you to increase your revenue and keep your clients returning. RainShadow Labs offers Custom Manufacturing, Wholesale and Private Label product sales, giving you the unique ability to customize a singular line of products especially tailored for your clients.
DIY Projects
From candles to bath bombs and homemade detergent to facial cream, people all over the US are making their own products utilizing essential oils. You only have to search YouTube to find and download videos on almost any project you could think of (and probably more!). Some of the most popular projects and DIY uses for essential oils are:
- Bath Products: It can get expensive to buy bath bombs, salts, oils and scrubs. However, when you make them yourself, it can be much more affordable. With a few simple products such as: coarse sea salt, epsom salts, baking soda and jojoba oil you could be well on your way to creating your own products and saving money. Be creative with the essential oils you choose. Perhaps add a few drops of our Citrus Blossom, or our signature Aphrodite Essential Oil Blend.
