Azlok's Relaxing Oil Blend is a ready-mixed aromatherapy blend of lavender, marjoram and mandarin orange essential oils, made to help you wind down at the end of a long day. The simplest way to use it: add a few drops to a diffuser about 30 minutes before bed, or dilute it in a carrier oil for a calming bath or massage. It carries a soft, woody-musky aroma and is transparent to pale yellow in colour.
What is the Relaxing Oil Blend?
This is a pre-blended essential oil, not a single oil, which means the hard work of balancing fragrances is already done for you. The three oils each bring something to the mix:
- Lavender essential oil — the classic calming note, widely used to encourage relaxation and restful sleep.
- Origanum majorana (sweet marjoram) essential oil — warm and herbaceous, traditionally associated with easing tension.
- Mandarin orange peel essential oil — a gentle, slightly sweet citrus top note that lifts the overall aroma.
Together they give a tranquil, grounding scent that suits evenings, meditation and quiet moments rather than an energising daytime buzz.
How to use it
There are a few reliable ways to enjoy this blend at home:
- In a diffuser: Add 4–6 drops to an electric or reed diffuser with water as directed. Run it in the bedroom before sleep or in a living space when you want a calmer atmosphere.
- For massage: Dilute to about 1–2% in a carrier oil such as sweet almond, coconut or jojoba. That works out to roughly 2–4 drops of the blend per 10 ml of carrier oil.
- In the bath: Mix a few drops into a tablespoon of carrier oil or a fragrance-free base first, then add to warm bathwater so the oil disperses instead of sitting on the surface.
- As a pillow or room mist: Blend a small amount with a suitable solubiliser and water in a spray bottle for a light bedtime mist.
Always start with less. You can add more if you want a stronger scent, but a subtle aroma is usually more pleasant and more calming.
Safety and honest notes
Essential oils are concentrated, so treat this blend with respect:
- Never apply undiluted oil directly to skin. Always mix with a carrier oil first.
- Patch-test a small diluted amount on your inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Do not ingest. This product is for aromatic and topical (diluted) use only.
- Keep away from children and pets, and store out of reach.
- Diffuse in a ventilated room and take breaks rather than running a diffuser continuously for hours.
- Citrus oils like mandarin can increase sensitivity to sunlight, so avoid strong sun exposure on freshly treated skin.
- If you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a health condition, check with a qualified professional first. Aromatherapy supports relaxation but is not a substitute for medical treatment.

FAQ
Can I put the Relaxing Oil Blend directly on my skin?
No. Always dilute it in a carrier oil to about 1–2% before applying to skin, and patch-test first to check for any reaction.
Does it actually help with sleep?
Many people find lavender-based blends calming and helpful for winding down before bed. It supports a relaxing routine rather than acting as a medicine, and results vary from person to person.
How many drops should I use in a diffuser?
Start with 4–6 drops in a water-based diffuser and adjust to taste. A lighter scent is often more soothing than a heavy one.

Predominantly woody and musky, softened by a gentle citrus lift from mandarin. It is calming rather than sharp or overly floral.
Can I use it for candle or soap making?
Yes. The larger bulk sizes are suited to DIY makers, though you should test fragrance load and compatibility in your specific recipe before scaling up a batch.
