# Roman Chamomile After-Bath Body Oil Recipe

This Roman chamomile after-bath body oil is made for that few-minute window after a shower or bath when your skin is still slightly damp and ready for a light layer of oil. Roman chamomile gives the blend a soft floral sweetness, while lavender and frankincense keep it smooth and grown-up.

The finished oil is lighter than a body butter and easier to use year-round. Apply a small amount to damp skin, let it sink in, and enjoy the gentle scent without feeling covered in heavy perfume.

## Benefits

- Helps seal in moisture after a bath or shower, when skin is still slightly damp and more ready for body oil.
- Leaves dry or tight-feeling skin feeling softer, smoother, and more comfortable.
- Gives the skin a light, nourishing finish without the heaviness of a thick body butter.
- Roman chamomile adds a gentle, calming floral note, making this a lovely choice for an evening body care routine.
- Helps support a softer-looking glow on arms, legs, shoulders, and other dry areas.
- Works well as a simple post-bath moisturizer if you prefer oil-based body care over lotion.

## Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons jojoba oil
- 5 tablespoons fractionated coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon apricot kernel oil or sweet almond oil
- 12 drops Roman chamomile essential oil
- 8 drops lavender essential oil
- 4 drops frankincense essential oil

**Roman chamomile essential oil:**  
 Roman chamomile gives the body oil a soft, comforting floral note that suits after-bath use. It is one of the gentlest essential oils for skincare.

**Jojoba oil:**  
 Jojoba adds a silky feel and helps the blend feel less like a kitchen oil.

**Fractionated coconut oil:**  
 Fractionated coconut oil keeps the body oil light, clear, and easy to spread.

**Frankincense essential oil:**  
 Frankincense gives the blend a smooth, resinous base that makes the aroma feel more polished.

## Recommended Supplies

<p>A 4 oz glass bottle with a pump or disc cap works well for this simple body oil.</p>

- 4 oz glass bottle
- Small funnel
- Measuring cup or scale
- Label

### Equipment

- 4 oz glass bottle

### Method

1. Add the jojoba oil, fractionated coconut oil, and apricot kernel oil to a clean 4 oz bottle.
2. Add the Roman chamomile, lavender, and frankincense essential oils.
