Each month Simply Earth out does themselves! I always love their boxes and the themes they come up with. The Simply Earth May essential oil subscription box is all about natural cleaning-both yourself and your home! I may be in the minority here, but I actually love bar soap and prefer it to shower gel. Why? I feel like I use less, there is less packaging waste, the scent is stronger, and it gets better suds. So imagine my delight when I saw there were two bar soap recipes! Here is what you can look forward to this month:
The Simply Earth May essential oil subscription box contains rose clay, glycerin soap base, soap mold, and 4 essential oils. This month’s essential oils are:
- Oregano- calms, warms, soothes, cleans
- Frankincense- cleans, supports respiration, deodorizes, stimulates
- Orange- uplifts, aids digestion, soothes, cleans
- Tranquility- relaxes, calms
This month’s recipes include Unwind Diffuser Blend, Let’s Be Frank Roll-on, Rose Sugar Scrub Soap, Rose Quartz Soap, Herbal Surface Cleaner, and Depuff Ice Facial.
Unwind Diffuser Blend
Unwind is the perfect name for this diffuser blend. It definitely is relaxing! You can also make this recipe without the oregano if that scent doesn’t appeal to you. It’s nice to have options! We always test a single recipe out in the diffuser before deciding if we would like to make an entire 5mL master blend of it.
Let’s Be Frank Roll-on
Perfect timing for this roll-on! It’s been a stressful week with Matt gone and me trying to get too many things done so I’ve been using this roll-on throughout the day. The scent really does help promote feelings of calmness.
Rose Quartz Soap
Isn’t this the prettiest soap?! I love the variations of color in it and am so excited to use it!
Herbal Surface Cleaner
This cleaner works well on man-made surfaces, but should not be used on stone. There are instructions for use of castile soap in lieu of vinegar though. It’s nice to know exactly what goes into your cleaning products and they are really easy to make once you know how!
Rose Sugar Scrub Soap
Another fun soap! Sugar scrubs are the best, especially for summer before you apply that spray tan. Let’s avoid those blotchy spots ladies! And this soap smells SO good!
The recipes also include the Depuff Ice Facial which I will be making as soon as I get some full-fat whole milk, yogurt, or coconut milk! A frozen facial sounds so soothing, especially in the summer!
The Simply Earth subscription box is a wonderful opportunity to begin using essential oils more and making useful and fun items you can use in your home. Simply Earth sells essential oils at honest prices AND teaches you how to use them in recipes as well as sharing what the uses the oils have.

This box contains all kinds of little extras to help you make the recipes.
There are other benefits to the subscription box like being able to add items to your box for free shipping, being able to exchange oils, and being able to gift a month to someone! The Simply Earth box is a wonderful value at just under $40. That includes you get 4 oils, ingredients, recipes, and some containers each month!
Simply Earth provides support for you with their blog containing videos and explanations of each recipe, a facebook group where you can ask questions and share knowledge, an essential oil hero course so you can make your own recipes, and their amazing customer service team! And I love that 13% of all products go to support organizations that work to end human trafficking. This month the proceeds are going towards Win This Fight.
Next month’s box will contain Lemongrass, Mandarin, Citronella, and Good Vibes essential oils. I love the fresh scent of lemongrass and am almost out of the Good Vibes blend. Citronella is a new one to me and I’m excited to try it. June’s box will be a good month!
