Multipurpose Essential Oil Set of 6, 15ml — Lavender, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Tea Tree & Lemongrass

The six oils almost every aromatherapy guide starts with, in 15 ml bottles: lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree and lemongrass. Between them they cover hair, skin, steam, sleep, cleaning and the diffuser — which is why this is the set to buy if you are starting from nothing and do not yet know what you will use most. All steam-distilled, undiluted, six separate bottles.

What’s in this set

Six oils, six jobs

• Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) — The all-rounder of any collection. Soft, floral and familiar — traditionally used to wind down in the evening, and the one oil most people reach for first in a diffuser.
• Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) — The reason most people buy a hair set. Herbaceous and sharp — traditionally massaged into the scalp in a carrier oil as part of a weekly hair-care routine.
• Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) — The steam-bowl classic. A familiar, clearing aroma that Indian households have leaned on through every change of season.
• Peppermint (Mentha piperita) — Cooling, bright and unmistakable. Traditionally used in steam and, heavily diluted, in temple and neck massage oils.
• Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) — Sharp, green and unmistakably medicinal. The classic choice for blemish-prone skin and for freshening laundry, floors and bins — always diluted.
• Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) — Bright, grassy citrus. A staple of Indian home sprays and mop water, and traditionally used outdoors as a natural insect deterrent.

How to use

Diffuser. 5–8 drops. Lavender alone in the evening; eucalyptus and peppermint together during a change of season; lemongrass and tea tree for a room that needs freshening.

Hair. 2–3 drops of rosemary per 10 ml of carrier oil, massaged into the scalp weekly.

Skin. Tea tree or lavender at 1% in a carrier for the face, 2–3% for the body.

Home. 10–15 drops of lemongrass in mop water or a vinegar spray.

Dilution guide

Safety & storage

• Never apply undiluted essential oil to skin. Dilute in a carrier oil first.
• Patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
• Not to be taken internally. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets. Consult a doctor if pregnant, nursing or under medical care.
• Store upright in the closed amber bottle, away from sunlight and heat. Flammable — keep away from open flame.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a good first purchase?

It is the one we would point a beginner to. Six of the most-used oils in aromatherapy, in full 15 ml bottles rather than samples, so you can find out what you actually reach for before buying larger sizes.

I am completely new to essential oils. Where do I start?

With a diffuser and one oil at a time. 5–8 drops in the water tank, 30 minutes, and see what you like. Move to diluted topical use once you know how your skin responds.

What is the right dilution?

1% for the face (1 drop per 5 ml carrier), 2–3% for the body (2–3 drops per 5 ml), and never neat on skin.

Do I need a carrier oil as well?

For anything you put on skin, yes. Jojoba, coconut, almond and grapeseed all work; jojoba is the most skin-like and the least greasy.

How long do these keep?

Two to three years for most, and one to two for cold-pressed citrus, which oxidises faster. Keep the bottles closed, upright, out of sunlight and away from heat.

Are the bottles individually packed?

Yes — these arrive as individual amber glass bottles with dropper caps, not in a gift box. If you need gift packaging, tell us in the order notes.
