Our Favorite Essential Oils for Smelling Your Best!

If you’ve been following us for some time now, then you already know how much we love our essential oils. 

Essential oils don't just smell like pure bliss, but they also have therapeutic and health benefits. The aroma of essential oils and all of its healing benefits is one main reason why they’re used in aromatherapy, natural cosmetics, and our Play Pits deodorant. In this article we’re going to have a look at some of our favorite essential oils and maybe even some of their soothing benefits. 

Lavender Oil

Naturally we have to kick off our essential oil list with lavender. Lavender essential oil is among one of the most popular essential oils. It also makes for a great gift for that special someone in your life. It can be used to help one sleep more soundly, it has natural calming effects, and can also help us focus. Some even believe lavender can boost memory, which is why students often have lavender around while studying! 

Could this be why we had to include lavender essential oil in our HAPPY deodorant? It certainly is! 

Grapefruit Essential Oil

What’s a list of essential oils without your citrus family on it? We had to include Grapefruit essential oil and lemon essential oil in our SUGA deodorant because of its uplifting aroma. Not to mention all of its antibacterial and antifungal properties, which makes for a fantastic remedy for stinky underarms for both adults and kids alike. 

Cedarwood Essential Oil

Yum, the woody scent of cedarwood essential oil is such a cozy and warm aroma, it’s hard to resist. This earthy element has the ability to promote concentration and ease a worried mind. As you might imagine, cedarwood essential oil comes from the bark of the cedar tree and can really help one feel grounded, especially during those stressful moments. 

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

Not only do we just love the name of this one, but we also love all of its healing and health benefits. This uplifting oil can be used to boost your mood, can help protect your hair from heat damage, it promotes relaxation, and it can be used to help promote healthy looking skin. 

Jasmine Essential Oil

Jasmine essential oil has been used since ancient times in ancient Egypt as a natural remedy to improve sleep and to cure headaches. This floral scent can improve your immune system, can be used to help you relax, helps with a lot of feminine cycles like PMS, menopause and postpartum symptoms, and can help promote healthy skin. It’s really no wonder why we had to include this feminine scent in our QUEEN deodorant!
