Simply Earth Essential Oil Recipe Box Review
Ready for another month of oils?
1 of 6
The first items I grabbed from the package were two cards: one with a note from Katie (the curator and aromatherapist behind this box!) and the other with all the info on the oils included in this month's box. The card also let me know that 13% of my purchase cost was donated to Freedoms Journey a non-profit dedicated to ending sex trafficking.
Also included were six recipe cards and coordinating stickers to use on all my handmade items!
Now, for the oils I received this month:
1 of 2
Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil, 15 mL – Retail Value $12.99
From Simply Earth:
Ancient middle eastern cultures used cinnamon leaf for colds, flu, digestive issues, menstrual complaints, and as a general stimulant. Believed to be one of the oldest plants on Earth, it is still very popular for its various health benefits.
Who doesn't enjoy the warmth of cinnamon oil? It is a great winter scent but I also love it in the warmer months when paired with a zingy citrus!

Cedarwood Himalayan Essential Oil, 15 mL – Retail Value $7.99
From Simply Earth:
Cedarwood's uses can be traced as far as biblical times, as it was used for construction materials in temples, homes, boats, and torches. Cedarwood Himalayan is now more commonly used for its skin and respiratory benefits. It is also found to be helpful for those who are emotionally tense.
Woodsy oils are among my favorite to use in my home. They add a feeling of comfort and earthiness that I find calming. This one is especially lovely paired with some lavender in my diffuser!
1 of 2
Bergamot Essential Oil, 15 mL – Retail Value $16.99
From Simply Earth:
Bergamot was named after a town in Italy – Bergamo – where Bergamot oil was first marketed. This citrus oil was most commonly used in Italian folk medicine for fevers and other medicinal purposes for many years.
Bergamot always reminds me of my favorite tea: Earl Grey! It is tart and juicy, but also sophisticated and a little sweet.

Winter Spice Oil Blend, 15 mL – Retail Value $12.99
From Simply Earth:
Our Winter Spice Essential Oil Blend is the perfect addition to make your home have that Christmas smell naturally!
This subscription does blends really well, and this is a winner. A trio of oils (tangerine, balsam, and fir!) creates a very wintery fragrance that is great in my diffuser. It feels both seasonal and super clean!

Goat Milk Soap Base, 2 oz
I made soap a long time ago, in one of my first Simply Earth boxes. It was a clear glycerine soap, so I am excited to try out this creamier goat milk version.

Simply Earth Silicone Soap Mold
I am really glad simply earth included another soap mold because mine has gone missing and I wouldn't really have anything else to use this month! This one is made of blue silicone and the flexible material makes it super easy to pop out your cooled soap!
1 of 2
Dried Orange Slices
Our final item is a pair of dried orange slices. I think these will be great crushed up in my soap to create a scrubby texture and just add some prettiness to the bar.
I decided to use the included soap recipe, but opted out of adding the cocoa powder (I didn't have any) and use ALL of the oils included this month and the orange slices for texture:
1 of 7 | First, I gathered everything close!
Verdict: Simply Earth was super fun this month and I loved all 4 of the oils. They were a great combo of wintery and also warmer notes. Making the goatmilk soap couldn't have been easier and I love how fragrant it turned out and how the orange pieces give it a little bit of gentle exfoliating power on my skin without being too harsh.
