product. Apart from woodsy beard oils, you can also create oils with following final aromas:

  • Earthy
  • Spicy
  • Citrusy
  • Floral
  • Medicinal
  • Minty
  • Oriental

It is very important to analyze the aromatic property of each essential oil component you use so that it does not interfere with or contradict each other. This will be a great way of determining whether the final product is spicy, woody, minty etc.

Qualification of Oils

Expert aromatherapists will tell you the right combinations of oils and how well they blend with each other. Oriental and spicy oils go quite well together, but you have to take care that the final result is not overpowering. Floral oils go well with woodsy and citrusy oils and the final combination can be very relaxing.

You can also choose oils that combine to create an energizing effect; they can keep you up all night! Then there are blends that can relax, sedate and make you feel sleepy! So let us discuss a few rules for blending:

Rules for BlendingWoody Beard Oil Recipes - blending oils

There are no specific rules for blending essential oils. However, some tips do come in handy for the purpose.

Always start with a few drops of each type of oil.

A small amount will help you prevent wastage. It will also help you determine whether you need to add more or less of an oil component. This, in turn, can help you figure out the final result.

Many people I know use pure essential oils; absolute oils or CO2 extracted oils. Do not go into too many details- these are just methods of extracting the volatile oils from plants. However, these methods definitely determine the oil’s properties, quality and of course their price.

You need to also choose the right base or carrier oil to blend your woody beard oil recipes. Make sure you keep a list of what you used: the oil and its exact quantity. This way you can come back to them again and again.
