We are a part of nature, not apart from nature. The outside world communicates and interacts with our bodies, and the outside world has never been so complicated. From the food we eat, to the products we put on our skin, to the air we breathe - we live in a world of overwhelming toxic burden. And accumulating science tells us that many of these toxins are having an impact on our health and wellbeing. The unrelenting buzz around ‘low-tox living’ from sulfates and surfactants to parabens and preservatives - can make your head spin. So, what can we do about it? Come with us on a journey towards transformation as we open your mind to new ideas and connect you with safe and toxin free ways to care for yourself, your home and your family with doTERRA Pure. This inspiring collection of DIY recipes, tips and ideas is designed to motivate you towards positive change, giving you realistic and effective ways to live more consciously through the purity of essential oils. Because happily, the answer is not nearly as complicated as the problem. We just need to live in better harmony with our bodies – as close to nature as possible.
PURE Cleaning Have you ever wondered why your commercial furniture polish has lemon in it, or why your floor cleaner is scented with pine? A long time ago, we discovered that certain naturally occurring elements have beneficial qualities for cleaning and disinfecting. Citrus oils like grapefruit and lime are natural degreasers. Lemon oil works wonders on wood surfaces and coniferous oils, such as pine and spruce naturally freshen and deodorise the air. Over time, these naturally effective, powerhouse oils have been diluted with chemicals and other additives, making some commercial cleaning products potentially hazardous to our health. Return to simplicity with pure essential oils and put the power of nature back into your cleaning routine.
Some of our favourite oils for cleaning: ON GUARD® PROTECTIVE BLEND This powerful and bestselling blend of Wild Orange, Clove and Cinnamon essential oils helps cleanse and purify surfaces, helping you create safe and non-toxic cleaning alternatives.
LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL This versatile bestseller has cleansing and purifying properties.
PURIFY® REFRESHING BLEND Purify the air and eradicate odours safely and naturally.
TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL Known for its multi-purpose antibacterial and cleansing properties.
BLACK SPRUCE ESSENTIAL OIL Its invigorating, fresh and woody aromas clear the air of unwanted odours.
GRAPEFRUIT ESSENTIAL OIL Acts as a purifying agent.
BASIL ESSENTIAL OIL Its warm and herbal aromas create a calm, relaxed environment.

PURE Air Why introduce more toxic chemicals into our environment with commercial air fresheners when you can purify the air naturally? Besides the extraordinary efficiency of our living trees and plants, clearing the air can’t be done any more safely and effectively than through the complex natural air purification properties of essential oils. Synthetic air fresheners often contain phthalates and an array of other potentially harmful chemicals that actually pollute the air you breathe rather than purify it. Bring the outdoors in and soothe and comfort body and mind with the fresh, clarifying aromas of pure essential oils.
Some of our favourite air fresheners: PURIFY® REFRESHING BLEND Combining citrus and fir essential oils, this refreshing blend leaves an airy, fresh scent on surfaces and in the air.
BLACK SPRUCE ESSENTIAL OIL Its invigorating, fresh and woody aromas clear the air of unwanted odours.
WILD ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL Revitalise and rebalance as you eliminate unwanted odours with the energising citrusy aromas of Wild Orange essential oil.
GRAPEFRUIT ESSENTIAL OIL Acts as a purifying agent with anti-microbial properties.

PURE Protection Whether lounging on the deck, hiking in the woods or sitting around the campfire, bugs are a part of life, especially throughout the summer months. And while we don’t love their little thorax’s buzzing around our heads while we’re trying to relax, we sometimes have to weigh up what’s worse – spraying an insect repellent or simply putting up with the annoyance. Most insect repellents smell abhorrent. And there is controversy over their safety, especially those containing synthetic ingredients. But most commercial insect repellents also contain natural oils, including Eucalyptus, Citronella and Tea Tree. So, why complicate things with extra toxic burden? Get outside doing the things you love to do with the purity and peace of mind of pure essential oils.
Some of our favourite, protective essential oils: EUCALYPTUS ESSENTIAL OIL A natural insect repellent with antimicrobial qualities, the cool, clear and airy qualities of Eucalyptus essential oil make it a must-have for all your summer and winter DIYs.
PEPPERMINT ESSENTIAL OIL Known for its refreshing and relaxing properties, cooling Peppermint essential oil is perfect for keeping the bugs at bay.
TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL Along with powerful antibacterial and cleansing properties, Tea Tree essential oil also contains a compound to help naturally repel insects.
LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL With its unrivalled ability to calm and soothe mind, body AND skin, Lavender essential oil is the perfect addition to your DIY toolbox.
CITRONELLA ESSENTIAL OIL With powerful benefits, Citronella essential oil is an ideal companion for camping, hiking and trips to the great outdoors.

MAKEUP BRUSH CLEANSER Ingredients: • 2 tablespoons Fractionated Coconut Oil • 5 drops Tea Tree essential oil • 5 drops Grapefruit essential oil Method Add Fractionated Coconut Oil and essential oils into a small bowl. Swirl your brush in the Fractionated Coconut Oil for 30 seconds, or until you see the makeup stored in your brush start to come out. Rub in a circular motion on the palm of hand to help get the makeup out.
MAKEUP REMOVER WIPES Ingredients: • 2 tablespoons witch hazel • 2 tablespoons Fractionated Coconut Oil • 2 tablespoons distilled water • 1–2 drops Tea Tree essential oil • Roll of paper towels Method Combine witch hazel, Fractionated Coconut Oil, and water in a small bowl and stir. Add Tea Tree essential oil. Use a serrated knife to cut the roll of paper towels in half, widthwise and remove tube from one half.

Let your newly cleaned makeup brushes dry on a towel for 4 hours, or until dry. Repeat once a month, or as needed.
GRAPEFRUIT ESSENTIAL OIL SHOWER MELTS
TIP Make sure to point the bristles down when running your brushes under water. Direct water contact may loosen the glue where the bristles are attached and reduce the lifespan of your brushes.
Ingredients • 1 cup cornstarch • 2+ tablespoons distilled water • 5–7 drops Grapefruit essential oil Method Add the Grapefruit essential oil and corn starch to a bowl. Mix well. It will look like a crumbly powder. Pour in the two tablespoons of distilled water. Continue to mix. Clumps will begin to form.
Continue adding a few drops of water at a time, mixing well. Once you have a thick paste, transfer the mixture to your mini ice cube tray. Smooth out flat. Freeze the contents for an hour or until the mixture is set.
NOTE These bubbles are not going to provide big fluffy bubbles that last a long time since it doesn't contain the synthetic ingredients that create the high amounts of lather or foam. However, this chemical-free bath will provide enough bubbles for a relaxing bath you’ll enjoy even more.
When you want to use a shower melt, place one on the floor of the shower and turn on the water. As the water stream hits the cube, it’ll begin to dissolve, and the aroma of Grapefruit essential oil will fill the air.
LAVENDER EUCALYPTUS BATH SALTS
TIP You don’t need to leave the shower melts frozen. Once they’re set, you can place them in a jar and store them in a cool and dry place. However, if your cubes seem runny, you can store them in the freezer instead and try a little less water the next time you make them.
