1 Supplies List for Butters, Balms and Salves Course *Please note: This course does not cover the therapeutics of each essential oil. You may consider our Free Introduction or our Foundations of Aromatherapy certification course to learn more about the therapeutics if you are not already certified in aromatherapy. The essential oil listing below are simply essential oils you could consider using in various balms, butters, and salves you create. We recommend having a diverse palette of essential oils, e.g. some citrus (the nonphototoxic ones when making body care products), some conifers (e.g. fir and pine), some herbs (e.g. spearmint or peppermint), a flower or two (e.g.rose and/ or neroli - their expensive!), etc. We also recommend choosing 2 core vegetable oils (e.g. jojoba and sesame) and at least 3 specialty oils (e.g. evening primrose, sea buckthorn, and rosehip seed oil) and at least two herbal oils (St. John s wort and calendula) With the butters, I have found I use coconut, shea, and mango the most. Hope this is helpful! Supplies List page 1
