To 1 ounce of jojoba add:

• 2 drops Bergamot Citrus bergamia (also Citrus aurantium)*
• 2 drops Cypress Cupressus sempervirens
• 2 drops Grapefruit Citrus x paradisi
• 2 drops Sweet Orange Citrus sinensis (also Citrus aurantium)
• 1 drop Frankincense (various species are acceptable, although avoid the Boswellia papyrifera species if pregnant or breastfeeding)
• 1 drop Neroli Citrus x aurantium

*IMPORTANT NOTE: Cold pressed Bergamot is phototoxic when more than 1 drop per ounce is used, such as in this recipe. In the cooler months, when your legs are not exposed to the sun, there is no risk of phototoxicity. However, in the summer months you will need to use just 1 drop (not 2) for this recipe unless you use a furanocoumarin/bergapten-free Bergamot, which has no phototoxic risk. I bought mine on Tropical Traditions. Read more about phototoxicity here: Phototoxicity - How to Stay Safe in the Sun.

To use, simply apply to your legs, or other problem areas not exposed to the sun (unless you use just 1 drop Bergamot in this recipe, or the furanocoumarin/bergapten-free Bergamot).

As always, if you use this daily for more than 2-3 weeks in a row, please take a break for a week to lessen your chances of sensitization. Alternately, you can use 2-3 times a week long-term.
