Neroli is definitely my favorite among the essential oils. in the beginning it has a fresh green note that gets some floral nuances (jasmine-like) as it unfolds. it is like walking through a plantation full of blooming bitter orange trees. sometimes I drop some of the oil in my neck about 2 drops. the smell makes me happy. It never comes overwhelming and cloying. 😍
Hi Stef! Thanks for sharing what makes Neroli one of your favorite essential oils! What a beautiful image - walking through a plantation full of blooming bitter orange trees - feeling relaxed and happy just thinking of that!
It's great to have you join our Aromahead community here on RUclips Gina J.💜 I love cleansing my skin with all-natural products and how this recipe leaves my skin lightly moisturized after rinsing off with warm water. It's a “Pretty Peaceful” feeling for the skin!!
I use this recipe for some time now and am very comfortable with it, honestly cannot imagine changing or replacing my face-wash rutine with a different recipe. Andrea thank you for sharing.
Sounds like a great recipe! I can't wait to try it. I love all of your videos. I just enrolled in your ACP program yesterday, and I LOVE it so far! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you Andrea; that was simple and I cannot wait to try it. I think it might be good for my daughter who has red skin all the time; we have tried everything but without success; I will try this on her.
Argan oil is amazing for skin care! Have her give it a try for several weeks. I would love to hear back about your daughter's experience with this soap free face wash.
Andrea, I absolutely love your book! I use it so much that the binding is wearing. I've been meaning to make this recipe, so thanks for posting the video.
Wow! Just made it and got to try it for the first tine. You are so right. It just smells amazing! It worked very well too and really removed my face makep beautifully. And yes was not drying. This is definitely my new face wash. Thank you!
@@aromatherapyoilsWell Thank YOU for sharing Andrea. I love it and am so grateful. You know I have to go buy that book now and see what other gems and wonderful information it contains. :-)
@@aromatherapyoils i am sure too.😊 Just ordered it tonight.I love this face wash so much that I can't wait to read the book and see what else is in there. 👍
good morning andrea its wonderful to watch your videos first thing in the morning, i love your shirt its very pretty. this is a great blend because its natural and too many things we use on a daily basis have chemicals so this is a great way to keep our skin clean and help it heal. thanks for your videos. they are always awesome. have a blessed day
andrea i have a question about sage sticks..arent they like incense sticks? what is the purpose of a sage stick. would you do a video on how to make one? thanks you for help
Hi Brian! We find that it is very individual and that skin types are so varied that it is most effective to just try it and see how it feels. 💜 Here's another recipe for a face-wash you may love: Make Your Own Argan Oil Face Wash: ruclips.net/video/hkJhlNW5nJo/видео.html
Hello there Andrea! Do you use a toner after washing your face with this, and then a moisturizer, or are the latter two items not necessary with the lovely Argan?
Laurie Hale that's a great question. The "Pretty Peaceful” Soap-Free Face Wash does the job of cleansing and moisturizing the skin at the same time! I love using hydrosols for toners. Frankincense hydrosol is famous for skin care and Rose otto Hydrosol is lovely too. For hydrosols we suggest here at Aromatics: www.aromatics.com/collections/hydrosols
Hi Norma! Thank you for being part of our community here on RUclips. So glad to hear you love our videos. Yes, you can use aloe directly from the plant, but it will only last a few days. In this case, we suggest making the blend fresh each time you use it.
Thank you for your uplifting video. What an awesome combination. I’ve got most of the ingredients, just have to buy some aloe vera. Really looking forward on using this. Blessings!
Carol Khoo try Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) in place of the Neroli. Any carrier oil that you love could work - Avocado oil or Olive oil are just a few. You could look up the properties to decide what would be best for your face - each carrier has different properties. Len Price has a great book "Carrier Oils for Aromatherapy and Massage that I recommend. You can find Len’s book here: amzn.to/2tVizwI
Hello! Jojoba would be a lovely substitute for Argan. You could also use any of your favorite carrier oils in this recipe instead. Here is a blog post where we share more information you might find helpful as you blend: www.aromahead.com/blog/choosing-the-right-natural-oils-for-your-skin-nl 💜

Hi Andrea, Love the recipes. Do you think I could use this blend and add it to castile soap for a shampoo? I'm looking every for a shampoo without all the terrible chemicals. I just recently enrolled in the ACP class, but I'm taking other courses to get a solid foundation for this program. Planning on taking the Scholars Program after I finish the ACP. You're a fantastic teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
💜💚Ann we are so excited for you to be on this wonderfully rewarding journey of learning! I I find that it is very individual and that hair types are so varied that it is most effective to just try it and see how it feels. It's worth it to experiment with adding some Castile soap. Let us know how that goes for you!
ANUPAMA HALDAR Some people have had success adding a drop or two of Rosemary to their favorite shampoo over several months and others have used shea butter for a scalp massage. The degree of success and the length of time is very individual.
The Aromahead Approach is to make products without preservatives and simply make them fresh as needed, and with water-based products like this soap-free faces wash that would be every 2-3 weeks. Of course if you're making water-based products for sale you would need to use a preservative. Since we don’t use preservatives, we wouldn't be able to advise from experience about preserving for resale.
There are many diffusers to choose from. You might check out what Aromatics.com to see the models they carry.www.aromatics.com/collections/accessories?page=3
Hi Mariya! You can use any carrier oil that you have in your collection if you don't have Argan. Jojoba, Tamanu oil, Avocado oil, or Sweet Almond oil would be a few excellent carriers to consider for this recipe if you have them. 😄
Elsa H, the Aromahead approach is to make products without preservatives and simply make them fresh as needed (with water based products like this face cleanser that would be every 2-3 weeks). Of course if you were selling water based products you would need to use a preservative, but for personal use, making them fresh every few weeks is great!

I want to make this soon. I literally ran out of all my oils not the essential oils but all my other carriers I realize that today. Time to stock up. Where do you buy your carrier oils if you don’t mind me asking

Shannon Dancy, you can use with of these in place of the neroli:Neroli/Petitgrain Co-Distill (Citrus aurantium var amara, Bergamot Mint (Mentha citrata).
Lorrain Cassesso I would describe it as a warm, citrusy floral oil. It has a beautiful hint of orange as it is the blossom on the orange tree. The aroma is a light (yet strong) floral-citrus top note with a floral-green, fresh middle note. The aroma (if you love it) is instantly uplifting and inspires peace and harmony on emotional, mental, and physical levels.
I've used Boswella carterii in this recipe. Boswella sacra is also good for skin care. You could use either one of these for this recipe, Kalpana Ganesh, and the results would be lovely.
Elizabeth we have had so much wonderful feedback from this blend. It's definitely worth a try. I find that it is very individual and that skin types are so varied that it is most effective to just try it and see how it feels.

Hi Stef! Thanks for sharing what makes Neroli one of your favorite essential oils! What a beautiful image - walking through a plantation full of blooming bitter orange trees - feeling relaxed and happy just thinking of that!
@@aromatherapyoils but it is so hallucinating how many flowers are needed for a little bit of neroli oil
@@stefpaelinck1457 it is amazing the love and care that goes into distilling Neroli - that the delicate flowers are all hand picked for distillation!
Thank you, Andrea, for sharing these gems. What an awesome name, "Pretty Peaceful". Anything soap-free, especially for the face, is pretty awesome.

Awesome recipe, what is the "shelf life"?
Hi Sarah! I make it fresh every few weeks. 😁
What's the shelf life of this wash can it be made for sale. WHT abt a preservative. Which one can we use

Hi Mariya! You can use any carrier oil that you have in your collection if you don't have Argan. Jojoba, Tamanu oil, Avocado oil, or Sweet Almond oil would be a few excellent carriers to consider for this recipe if you have them. 😄

Thank you

What can I substitute for Neroli?
Shannon Dancy, you can use with of these in place of the neroli:Neroli/Petitgrain Co-Distill (Citrus aurantium var amara, Bergamot Mint (Mentha citrata).
How can you describe the smell of neroli i just bought a bottle not liking it to much
Lorrain Cassesso I would describe it as a warm, citrusy floral oil. It has a beautiful hint of orange as it is the blossom on the orange tree.

What brand of oils you recommend ?
Andrea Butje Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my question. I'm sure it will help.
Ivelisse Jimenez, one of the companies I like to use is Aromatics.com
This seems very oily, greasy and thick! Am i wrong? Thanks
