Note: we run into people from time to time that say that Lavender essential oil really “bothers” them or gives them headaches. 9 times out of 10, in our personal experience, the lavender they have been exposed to is low quality, synthetic oils that are often diluted with chemicals or solvents. When they experience Young Living brand essential oils, their experience is dramatically improved and happier.

What device did you use to measure the grams? Thank you. I tried converting but it doesn’t come out as a whole or half measurement.
I used this inexpensive kitchen scale. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004164SRA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004164SRA&linkCode=as2&tag=recwitessoil-20&linkId=TPH5GRAIOZSLWZF2
Is it possible to get the measurements in oz/tsp as opposed to grams? Thanks
Unfortunately, no. Grams are much more precise to get the exact consistency we needed for the lip balm. You could try a google search to convert but it will be converting weight to capacity which is never exact.
The labels are so cute. I like the lip balm recipe. I am a coconut oil user and this mixed with the avocado oil and shea butter will make it so good. Not to mention it will make no harm to eat it.
