Can i use essential oils with these crystals?

I only use them in a microderm machine and I have never heard of using essential oils with them. Maybe if you are making a manual microderm solution

These are mineral crystals and the addition of oils will not harm your skin.The addition of oils may depend on the area you are exfoliating and the purpose of the oils.Essential oils are wonderful for creating relaxing and refreshing treatment.If you are exfoliating your face it might be more effective to use oils after exfoliating. I use a mild facial cleanser and mix it with the crystals to create my own exfoliating scrub. The soap helps the crystals flow over the skin without scratching or irritating. I them use a diluted essential oil blend to moisturize.

I wouldn't. The crystals are very fine and hard to completely rinse-off the skin. I have better results using a creamy or soapy cleanser with the crystals then applying a facial oil after rinsing the skin completely.

I'm sure you could...I would. I got this for my boyfriend (we use it all the time, it's awesome) aand he has an essential oil lamp we already use every night. There are little pouches you can buy specifically for this product that have a variety of essential oils. But I would guess you could just drop a few drops in the actual tank and it would be fine. You just might want to clean it more often and in between scents (obvi).

I have used peppermint essential oils in mine and it worked fine. The inside is stainless steel so pretty much it's good for just about anything.

The salts dessolve pretty quickly in liquid, but if you move quick it would totally work. I also have a pack of the unscented salts, which would be perfect to use with essential oils! Good luck!

I never tried that. However I don't think it would work very well as the crystal is not porous. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I would contact the company with this question just to make sure. There are food grade essential oils out there, too. If you end up using essential oils this way, you want to drink just a few drops at a time in a glass of water or cup of tea.

Yes, you sure can! Happy soap making! http://m.wikihow.com/Blend-Essential-Oils-for-Soapmaking

I just mix a pinch of the crystals into a dime sized amount of cleanser for one use. I generally just mix it right in the palm of my hand just before I'm going to use it.

I would say no. These (wonderful) oils are already in a carrier oil, and so are not just pure essential oils.

I put essential oils in mine but take immediately. I read somewhere they will disintegrate after a while.

I'm fairly (not 100%) sure you can't. I had no luck doing crystals, which surprised me. It worked out for me anyway. I was able to make a super saturated solution that I could use in place of the Alum that is sold as 'Barber Alum'. You could probably use a small container to hold a solution and add the scent, but I doubt that's what you are looking for.

No. These are Therapeutic Essential Oils. The best there are. I can help you out if you want some.

Add water. Of course, if you use tap water it is no longer organic. Once, when I was thirsty I just ate some of the crystals. Unfortunately I soon discovered some water, drank some and damn near exploded. So I would urge caution.

I would say generally "no," depending on your skin type. It's a very fine crystal but it might irritate your skin if used daily.

That I am not real sure of. I do know they have diffusers for that purpose, and some are up there in price. Some humidifiers says not to add anything but water or if they add scents it is made for that. If you would like to try on an old humidifier that would be the best to do. Thrift stores carry those for cheap and you will not have to spend alot of money if it ruins the humidifier. You know the Vicks thing you can put the med rub in the cup, well that could be another option as well. I have tried to figure out another way to use those essential oils for aromatherapy that is what I buy essential oils. When you buy those oils make sure you can use them for whatever you bought them for. (food grade, skin safe (no reactions on skin), and will not harm the body thru inhalation. Hope I helped!

yes, sparingly at first, work your way up to the desired effect. traditionally essential oils shouldnt be heated from their essence. hence using a diffuser

I mix a little of the Lavendar Essential Oil with Almond Oil (use whatever oil you usually use). You could use just the lavender, but I think it would be used up very quickly and it's expensive. Experiment with small amounts and see what you like best.
