DIY Hair and Body Oil

Today I am sharing my families favorite DIY Hair and Body oil recipe. This 7 ingredient oil mixture is mild but effective and safe for all ages. The coolest part of this DIY is that majority of the oils you have around your house already!

I get all of my natural ingredients here: From Nature with Love

What you will need and their benefits:

Apricot Kernel Oil – mild, non irritating oil that is high in vitamins A & C, safe for infants and children and cost effective.
Sweet Almond Oil – improves complexion, moisturizes better than most oils and rich in Vitamins A & C.
Argan Oil – rich in nutrients & fatty acids and helps to treat split ends.
Jojoba Oil – closest to the natural oils in our skin, absorbs quickly and also fills in the cracks on the surface of the hair cuticle.
Castor Oil – helps promote hair growth and high in Omega fatty acids 3 & 6
Vitamin E – helps even skin tone, minimize wrinkles and great for adding shine to hair.
Optional Fragrance: I used Coconut Fragrance

Directions:

Using a plastic or glass container and a funnel, combine the following ingredients:

1/3 c Apricot Kernel Oil
1/3 c Sweet Almond Oil
2 tbsp Argan Oil
2 tbsp Jojoba Oil
1 tbsp Castor Oil
1 tbsp Vitamin E
1 tbsp Fragrance (optional)

Once all done shake the mixture and apply as needed. Since the oils may separate after sitting, just give them a good shake before each use. This mixture will make 8oz and the shelf life is about 6 months.
