    My partner was in a serious auto accident and had some deep gashes on her face. I made your Scar Formula and slowly but surely the scar is hardly noticeable. She uses the Oil faithfully twice a day, and one of these days the scar will just disappear. Thank you SO much.

      I am so glad that she has seen such wonderful results! Thank you for sharing that. I know there are a lot of people out there looking for something that works and testimonies are always helpful. Here’s the link to that recipe for others: https://simplelifemom.com/2014/03/12/essential-oils-for-scars/
      I just started offering that blend in my shop too.

    Gotta try your homemade mascara! I don’t spend much on cosmetics, but I love homemade ones.
