Hi,
Welcome to the board and to the bearded life
I have made my own, I have made 2 blends both use the following ratio of carrier oils:
20% castor oil 40% Sweet Almond oil and 40% grapeseed oil - This mixture absorbs well into my skin so it doesnt go greasy, and the heavier castor oil helps it cling to the hair better than when i just used the lighter almond and grape oil.
for the essential oil blends:
my everyday use oil is:
Cedar wood 6 drops (0.3ml) per 10ml
Rosemary 10 drops (0.5ml) per 10ml
Lime 4 drops per (0.2ml) 10ml
This gives a fresh light woody smell that i really like
I also have the following:
Ginger 6 drops per 10ml
Vanilla 10 drops per 10ml
Orange 4 drops per 10ml
This is a much sweeter smell which i tend to use if im oiling my beard in the eveining as it is more relaxing that the woody smell above
These are going to last me a long time, which is a shame as i enjoy making the oils and experimenting to get smells that i like.
Be careful with the citrus essential oils as some people can have bad reactions to them and a 10% blend of just lemon
might
be abit to strong still.
