Description


Key Ingredients: A Formula Designed for Wellness


Young Living's Bath & Shower Gel Base stands out for its focus on purity and gentleness, serving as an ideal platform for essential oils. While the manufacturer does not detail an exhaustive list of ingredients as they would for a product with specific active ingredients, its formulation is intended to be a neutral vehicle. Generally, this type of base includes:



  • Purified water: As an essential solvent.

  • Mild plant-derived surfactants: Cleansing agents that create lather and remove impurities without being harsh on the skin.

  • Gentle conditioners: Ingredients that help keep the skin hydrated and feeling pleasant after washing.

  • Natural thickening agents: To achieve the desired gel consistency.

  • Naturally derived or low-impact preservatives: Ensure product stability and shelf life, minimizing irritation risks.


The philosophy behind this base is to provide a clean alternative, free of unnecessary ingredients that could interfere with the purity or effectiveness of the essential oils you choose to add.



Application Method: Your Pace, Your Blend


Flexibility is key when using the Bath & Shower Gel Base. The way you apply it completely adapts to your preferences and the experience you wish to create:



  • Aromatic personalization: Pour the desired amount of base into the palm of your hand or a small container. Add 5-10 drops of your favorite Young Living essential oil or oil blend. Gently mix and apply to damp skin with a sponge or directly with your hands, enjoying the lather and aroma. Vary the amount of drops according to the desired aromatic intensity.

  • In the shower: Apply a portion of the base directly onto a damp sponge. Add your chosen essential oil drops, lather, and rinse thoroughly with water.

  • In the bath: For a full immersion bath, add 1-2 tablespoons of the base directly to the bathwater as it fills. Then, incorporate 10-20 drops of essential oils dispersed in the base, stirring the water to ensure a good mix.

  • As hand soap: Dispense a small amount into your hands, add 1-2 drops of your chosen essential oil, rub until lather forms, and rinse. You can prepare a larger portion by adding oils to a clean dispenser with the base and shaking gently.


Experiment with different oil combinations to discover new sensations and benefits for your well-being.



Skin Type: For All Sensitivities


Young Living's Bath & Shower Gel Base is formulated with the intention of being gentle and suitable for most skin types. Its neutral nature makes it an ideal option for:



  • Sensitive skin: By not containing synthetic fragrances or added colorants, it reduces the risk of irritation. You can customize it with essential oils known for their calming properties, such as Lavender or Roman Chamomile.

  • Normal to dry skin: Gentle ingredients help cleanse without stripping the skin of its essential natural oils. It can be enriched with moisturizing oils like Sandalwood or Geranium.

  • Oily or acne-prone skin: Allows for the inclusion of balancing or purifying essential oils like Tea Tree or Lemon for specific care.

  • Family use: Being customizable, each family member can create their own blend according to their preferences and skin needs.


It is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of the skin, especially when introducing a new essential oil into the blend, to ensure compatibility.



Precautions: Safe and Conscious Use


Although the Bath & Shower Gel Base is a product designed for safety and versatility, it is crucial to consider certain precautions, especially when integrating essential oils:



  • Essential oil dosage: Always start with a small amount of essential oils (2-5 drops per use) and adjust as needed for tolerance and desired effect. Some oils are more potent than others.

  • Avoid eye contact: As with any cleansing product, avoid direct contact with the eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.

  • Sensitivity test: If you have very sensitive skin or are prone to allergies, perform a skin patch test with the final mixture (base + essential oil) on a small, discreet area of the skin before widespread use.

  • Internal use: Do NOT consume. This product is designed exclusively for topical and aromatic use.

  • Medical conditions and pregnancy: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have any medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before using specific essential oils.

  • Storage: Keep the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

  • Sun sensitivity: Some essential oils (such as citrus oils) can increase skin sensitivity to the sun. If you use these oils, avoid direct sun exposure on the applied areas or use them during an evening shower.


Conscious use and following these recommendations will ensure a safe and pleasant experience.

Frequently Asked Questions



Can I use this base without adding essential oils?

Yes, the base is fully functional on its own as a neutral bath gel or hand soap. However, it is formulated to be the ideal vehicle for your essential oils, allowing you to enjoy their aromas and properties.




How much essential oil should I use?

The recommended amount for individual use is typically 5-10 drops per portion of gel you plan to use. For bath use, you can increase to 10-20 drops. It's always best to start with a low dose and adjust it according to the desired intensity and the sensitivity of your skin. For hand soap in a dispenser, you can add 30 to 60 drops per 250ml of base, shaking well.




Is it suitable for delicate or children's skin?

The base is gentle and designed to be well-tolerated. For very delicate skin or children, it is recommended to use fewer drops of essential oils and choose oils known for their mildness, such as Lavender or Roman Chamomile. A patch test is always advisable.




How can I optimally mix essential oils into the base?

You can add essential oils directly to a portion of the gel in your hand or a small cup and stir with your finger before applying. To prepare a larger quantity in a dispenser, add the oils to the base and shake gently to ensure they disperse well. Avoid vigorous shaking to prevent excessive foaming.
