I’ve been on a creative brainstorm and will start formulations in the new year.  What does this mean for you?  Lots of new goodies!  Because we are a small batch handmade line I’ll have to scale back on some items and make more of others.  You’ll see some different scrubs, serums and soaps plus at some point this year I’d like to give the store a makeover – so keep an eye out!

2015 is going to create some amazing change and I can’t wait 🙂

Happy Holiday!

Over the next few months Freda’s Potions will be releasing some new items for kids.  All of our products are natural and can be used on children but sometimes they just like to have their own products.  I can totally relate to that – growing up I always wanted my own stuff so my grandmother would make me miniature versions just for me.  The first two items for kids are:

Pretty Pretty Princess is perfect for the little girl that wants to be a princess.  Smells amazing and it’s good for them!  No chemicals like in some spritzers and perfumes – this comes right from the rose.

Monster Be Gone is just right for the little one that doesn’t want to sleep because of a monster under the bed.  Mist the lavender on the pillow and sheets and sleep will be

refreshing.

Kids love participating and they also love to have their own things.  Put a smile on their face with something that’s great for their skin.

Essential Oils Kids

10 Essential Oils for Kids – Please make sure to dilute essential oils in some type of carrier oil before applying topically. A good carrier oil most people have on hand is olive oil.  Almond oil is lightweight as well as sunflower.  Here is a great article ‘Guide to Diluting Essential Oils‘ to take a look at on proper dilution.  The rule of thumb is no more than a 3% essential oil mix for topical use. It’s always better to start at 1% and add more if need be especially with the sensitive skin most kids have. Topically apply to soles of the feet, reflexology points, inhalers, and location of the ailment.

This is a great chart from http://www.growingupherbal.com/

Number 7 should be Citrus 🙂

Our Floral Waters are also great to use directly on the skin.  They are made by steam distilling and carry all the properties from the plant.  We have Rose, Lavender, Chamomile and Immortelle (also known as Helichrysum or Everlasting).

Have fun exploring all the uses for essential oils kids.
