Not Sure Which Essential Oil to Choose?

Each Creation Pharm essential oil has its own personality. Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the right one for your mood, space and ritual.

• Lavender Essential Oil (French)
  Choose lavender when you want a soft, floral atmosphere that helps the day unwind. It’s ideal for cozy winter nights, bedtime diffusers, bath rituals and gentle everyday body oil blends.
• Peppermint Essential Oil
  Choose peppermint when you’re craving a crisp, cooling, wake-up aroma. It’s perfect for morning diffusers, office or study spaces, shower steam, summer cooling blends and refreshing foot soaks.
• Tea Tree Essential Oil
  Choose tea tree when you want a fresh, clarifying scent for focused skincare routines and “just-cleaned” blends. It shines in spot-care oils, gym bag and travel kits, soaps, scrubs and room sprays.
• Frankincense Essential Oil
  Choose frankincense when you’re drawn to a warm, resinous, sacred aroma. It belongs in prayer corners, meditation spaces, facial oils, anointing blends and evening diffuser rituals that invite quiet and reflection.

Many people keep all four on hand: lavender and frankincense for evening and reflection, peppermint for energy and focus, and tea tree for clarifying skincare and fresh-feeling spaces.
