Mia Mariu Essential Oils {Review}
If you are an essential pro, this is probably not going to be big news..but for me; this is the first combination essential oil that I have tried. Sure, I’ve mixed other oils together but honestly, I was guessing at how much of each to add to my creation.
Mia Mariu carries a large line of single and combination oils. I recently received the “Relax” bottle and boy is it special.
Mia Mariu is Beauty and Health in Harmony ~ It’s a complete line of botanical skin care, mineral makeup, nutritional supplements, fragrances and essential oil blends using the finest ingredients in nature to help you illuminate your beauty from the inside out and from the outside in.
I was impressed at the essential oils used in the Relax bottle. The oils used include:
Lavender – has been cherished for its unmistakable aroma and therapeutic properties for thousands of years. It is widely used for its calming and relaxing qualities and helps ease muscle tension in the head and neck.
Sandalwood – found only in Hawaii and it delivers a variety of benefits. It promotes healthy & smooth skin, reduces the appearance of scars and blemishes, enhances mood and promotes sleep and frequently used in meditation for its grounding and uplifting properties.
Cedarwood – Known for promoting healthy skin and clear breathing, Cedarwood has a warm, woody, balsamic fragrance that relaxes the mind and body and is perfect for massage therapy.
Clary Sage – known for its mood-lightening properties and ability to ease monthly menstrual cycles. It has a warm, herbal scent that is uplifting and relaxing, making it a perfect choice for supporting a normal, healthy attitude during PMS.
Sweet Almond Oil – known to be high in moisturizing fatty acids (Omega 6 and Omega 9), excellent emollient high in oleic and linoleic, ideal in the treatment of dry skin, helps skin balance loss and absorption of moisture providing a smooth skin feel. It is antioxidant rich, high in Vitamin E, fat and protein content along with containing many essential nutrients.
Apricot Oil -Similar soothing properties as almond oil. Apricot oil is a favorite oil for mothers and babies because of its ability to soothe chaffed skin gently. It is quickly absorbed into the skin; it is often used as massage oil to deliver benefits such as reducing stress, pain and inflammation and instilling an overall sense of well-being. Apricot kernel oil is also very mild and non-irritating, making it suitable for children and infant massage. It is cold-pressed from the dried seeds of the fruit of the apricot tree. This natural oil is light-colored and fragrant, imparting a somewhat nutty aroma.
Grapeseed Oil – used as a base oil for many creams and lotions. It is the preferred carrier oils for many massage therapists because of its light, satin like finish. It also has some astringent qualities and is good for oily, acne prone skin.
Jojoba Oil – used as a favorite carrier oil. It closely resembles the sebum of the skin, and is rich in vitamin E; thus promoting a glowing complexion.
Rosehip Oil – extremely high in essential fatty acids and is known to help treat dry, irritated, weathered skin. It is also suitable for treating burns, scars and stretch marks.
Macadamia Oil – in addition to its moisturizing benefit, it is a nutrient-dense oil which is packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids that protect your skin and helps promote healing process after a sunburn or other types of skin damage. As an added bonus, Macadamia oil mimics your skin’s natural oils, making it an ideal match for maintaining your glow.
Coconut Oil – an excellent massage oil for the skin as well as it acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skin. It is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of the skin, delays the appearance of wrinkles and sagging of the skin.
Yeah, there is no way I would know how to combine all the above oils to achieve this amazing product.
Using this is easy too. Just a couple of drops massaged in on tight muscles is all it takes. Just the scent is enough to wash away the stress of the day. I like to place a drop on my palm and then slide my hand back and forth over my pillow. Perfect amount to provide a light, soft, relaxing scent at the end of the day.

I just started with essential oils, I like diffusing lavender, lemon and peppermint! I also love the spell of thieves and use that to diffuse as well!
