Can I mix in essential oils with my lotion/shampoo/Aloe Vera that I purchased from the drug store?Updated a year ago

While it is generally possible to mix essential oils with lotion, shampoo, or aloe vera purchased from the drug store, it is advisable to use unscented versions. The reason for this is that additional chemicals or additives in scented products could potentially interfere with the desired effects or properties of the essential oils.

By opting for unscented versions of these products, you can have more control over the fragrance and potential therapeutic benefits provided by the essential oils. However, it's still important to dilute the essential oils properly before mixing them with any carrier substance.

Additionally, please note that individual results and experiences may vary. It's a good idea to perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to ensure compatibility and check for any adverse reactions before applying the mixture to your entire body.
