Was wondering if i could just mix some sort of oil, , lavender essential oil and aloe vera....or something similar?

Has anyone tried something like this and have any sort of recipe?

Yes. On the rare occasions there are any properly sore bits we use aloe vera gel with lavender oil.

Otherwise, I make a blend of sunflower base oil with lavender, lemongrass & geranium. Also acts as an insect repellant.

Sounds fab! just a couple of drops of the essential oils?

For a blend for children: max 4 drops in 25ml of base product.

For adults (children over 12 years old): 12 drops in 25ml of base.
