For years my husband has suffered from dandruff, and it has been a struggle trying one product after another. We finally took a break from using anything special, we are working on gut health to address what we believe to be the root cause and decided to try a scalp oil to help soothe the skin and boost confidence.

I reached out to my cousin who has become an Oily Genius and she helped me come up with a recipe. I am going to give you the original recipe she gave me and the adjusted recipe that we have settled on for us.

Original Suggested Recipe

15ml bottle with dropper

• 2 drops Rosemary
• 2 drops Cedarwood
• 4 drops Lemon
• 4 drops Peppermint
• 4 drops Tea Trea
• 4 drops Lavender
• 2 Drops Geranium
• 2 drops Patchouli
• Top with carrier oil of choice.

Our Recipe

3oz bottle with dropper

• 12 drops Rosemary
• 12 drops Cedarwood
• 24 drops Lemon
• 24 drops Peppermint
• 24 drops Tea Trea
• 24 drops Lavender
• 6 drops Patchouli (we did 12 before and I am not a fan of the smell of Patchouli, if you don’t mind the smell use 12 drops here)
• Top with Almond Oil
