We have a large
selection of essential oils, absolutes, and co2 extracts
that can be used to create your anointing oil. To help
you decide which ingredients you would like to use we
created this page to describe the oil scents and have listed
some oils that would blend well with them. We realize
this process may seem intimidating, however, our Biblical
Apothecary will oversee your creativity. You will not
be alone on your fragrant journey. Have faith, relax,
and enjoy the process!
The first step on
your fragrant journey should be to determine what type of
scent you would like. For instance, do you want a
traditional smelling anointing oil? If so, you
may want to try Frankincense and Myrrh which as a rich,
balsamic scent. Perhaps, you are more adventurous and
want an anointing oil created using other tree oils
mentioned in the Bible. If so, you may want to try a
blend of Cypress, Pine, Fir, and Cedarwood for a fresh
woodsy scent.
You will be given
the choice of adding up to 4 different ingredients to your
anointing oil. Please feel free to review our
anointing oil recipe page for additional blending ideas and
guidance. If you would like a special anointing oil
made with more than 4 ingredients or simply want us to guide
you through the process by phone; you may opt to schedule a
Creative Formulation session with our Biblical Anointing Oil
Specialist.
