Have you decided that it is time to swap your toxic home and body products for all natural alternatives? Congratulations, this is a great choice for a healthier lifestyle and overall well-being. Not only are you eliminating chemicals like phthalates, formaldehyde, parabens, and styrene, you are bringing in ingredients that are actually beneficial to your skin and mind. But, one thing you may have noticed while making this change is that your beloved new scent is not lasting as long as you want it to. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered; let’s dive into your options.

The Nature of Essential Oils

As much as we absolutely love Essential Oils for the natural scent they offer, you should know that it is just normal for them to lose their scent faster than synthetic fragrances. This is because of oxidation; a process where the constituents of the oil react with atmospheric oxygen reducing their scent intensity. Essential Oils are volatile and evaporate fairly quickly. The timing of this depends on many factors like temperature (especially high heat), sunlight, and air circulation. But, the good news is that there are ways to extend the life of their beautiful aroma!

Scent Layering

What is scent layering, you may ask…well, it’s pretty much what the name says. Basically, you could use your Essential Oil blend in multiple ways to make it last longer, or you can use different Essential Oils to build more staying power. The varying notes in a blend dissipate at different rates, so using a well rounded blend helps too. Top notes are generally citrus, mints, and some herbs. They are the oils that you smell first, but they are also the first to fade. Middle notes are mostly florals and herbs. They tie the blend together and last longer than top notes. Base notes are mainly woods and resins. These oils are the foundation of your blend, and they last the longest. Almost all of the blends that REVIVE has to offer contain all of these notes making for a fulfilling and complete synergy.

Personal Scent

When it comes to personal fragrance, of course you want to smell good! And luckily there are so many ways to do this with your favorite Essential Oils. From bathing, to lotion, to roll-ons, you can pick and choose how you want to use them, or you can even do them all. Additionally, you always have the option of reapplying throughout the day. Here are a few ways to use your oils on your body to build your scent:

Bath Soak: Add your oil to your Epsom Salts, a Scrub, or Bubbles during your bath 

Natural Soap: Mix a few drops of your oil into your soap when you shower

Body Oil: Combine a couple of drops of your EO to your body oil for all over moisture with a beautiful scent

Body Lotion: Blend a drop or two of your chosen oil with your lotion 

*If you love Lavender Vanilla, make sure to try this one

Roll-on: Make a roll-on with your Essential Oils and a carrier oil for an easy to use, and easily reappliable aroma – or try one of REVIVE’s ready made rollers

Body Spray: Create a body spray with your preferred blend and spray all over your body (including hair) for a layerable fragrance

Lava Jewelry: Place a few drops of your oil onto your lava bracelet for even more staying power

Scented Space

If you are looking to naturally create the perfect ambiance for your home, office, or any space, Essential Oil layering is a great option. Whether you love to diffuse your synergies or you are a big fan of room sprays, we have some easy and versatile ways for you to extend the length of your botanical blends, and continue to refresh throughout the day. Also, keep in mind that these can be done in multiple rooms at the same time as to create a scent experience in each space.

Diffuse: The easiest way to scent your space is to use a plug in diffuser– these can run for hours and fill the air with fragrance

Passive Diffuser: Placing your favorite ceramic diffuser into any room adds a gentle and delicate aroma

Room Sprays: By spritzing your chosen room spray when you enter a room, you provide a fresh layer of scent

Scented Decor: Placing a few drops of your blend onto potpourri or holiday decorations gives way to a deeper smell

Simmer Pot: Creating a pot of oils and spices that you simmer on your stove adds a perfect fragrance to the air

Essential Oil Candles: If you like to DIY, you can make your own EO candles for another layer of fragrance

Have you decided that it is time to swap your toxic perfume and body products for all natural alternatives? Congratulations, this is a great choice for a healthier lifestyle and overall well-being. Not only are you eliminating chemicals like phthalates, formaldehyde, parabens, and styrene, you are bringing in ingredients that are actually beneficial to your skin and mind. We know that this can be a lot of information to unpack, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. So, let’s dive into this subject, so that you can make an educated choice for yourself and your family.

Why Make the Swap?

Over the past 20 years, more and more information has been released about the toxins in our daily products. Between soaps, lotions, skin care, make-up, and perfumes, these chemicals can really add up. Did you know that up to 60% of what you put on your skin can be absorbed… and these body products contain some pretty harmful ingredients? Many of them can cause some serious health issues like hormone disruption, reproductive problems, nervous system damage, and even cancer! And to take this even one step further, this includes products we use in our home. Cleaning supplies and air fresheners enter our bodies through inhalation as well, and these can have long term damage too.

Benefits of Natural Products

When you decide to make the swap to all natural body products, you not only remove those toxins from your life, but you actually add in some beneficial active ingredients. In addition to that, this swap also encourages more eco-friendly and cruelty free options. On top of that, natural products are also less irritating to the skin. They are much gentler so they do not strip the skin barrier of your natural oils, and they are a lot less likely to cause allergic reactions. This is a win-win situation when it comes to caring for your body.

Great Question! And the short answer is… almost everything you might need! As far as natural products go, REVIVE carries most items that you would use regularly everyday.

Are Natural Products Just as Effective?

Yes! Natural skincare and body products are just as effective as conventional store-bought items because they rely on active plant compounds that work in harmony with our bodies. High quality carrier oils and botanical ingredients support the skin’s barrier and deliver antioxidants as well as hydration, without relying on synthetic ingredients that can disrupt the body. In addition, these Essential Oil based remedies are providing therapeutic benefits at the same time. When inhaled or absorbed through the skin, the compounds in the oils can help with your mental state as well. Depending on what Essential Oils are used, they can help with relaxation, balance, or even uplift your mood. The result is a product that is not only effective physically, but also one that supports your body as a whole.
