Lavender Frankincense Pillow Mist Recipe

This lavender frankincense pillow mist recipe will have you drifting off to sleep in no time!

I’m not a ‘good sleeper’ (unlike my husband who is a sleeping machine!). I discovered a while ago that the combination of lavender and frankincense essential oils helps me settle down and get to sleep so I used to diffuse them almost every night. Unfortunately, my diffuser broke recently (womp-womp) and all the outlets in our room are full right now, anyway so we can play soothing background music to help block out ambient noise for LG.

That’s why I decided to make and share this delicious lavender frankincense pillow mist recipe! It is so incredibly easy that even I had time to make it as a new mom. šŸ˜‰

Ingredients for lavender frankincense pillow mist

  • 15 drops lavender essential oil
  • 5 drops frankincense essential oil
    • If you don’t have frankincense, chamomile is a nice, soothing oil to use, instead.
    • You can cut the oil concentration in half for a more dilute mixture, if you’d prefer. I don’t apply this directly to my skin, but if you do, you might want to lower the concentration if you use it every day.
  • 1 tablespoon unscented witch hazel
  • Distilled or freshly boiled & cooled water
  • 2 oz amber or cobalt blue glass spritz bottle (the colored glass helps protect the essential oils from degradation.)
  • A dopper or pipette, optional
  • To keep your spray fresh and safe, I also recommend using a naturally-derived, broad spectrum preservative like Cosgard.

Alright, are you ready for the easiest tutorial ever?

How to make lavender & frankincense pillow mist

Carefully pour one tablespoon of witch hazel into your spritz bottle.

Add the essential oils. This can be done using a pipette or dropper, if you find that easier.

Fill with distilled or freshly boiled & then cooled water.

Spritz your pillow before bedtime and enjoy as the soothing scents help you drift to sleep. Shake gently to combine before use.

I don’t have any label paper so I used a couple of pieces of wash tape and a marker to make a cute little label! I also have some permanent India ink spray in similar bottles (from this project here) so I don’t want to mix them up.

And there you have it! A sweet smelling, super easy lavender frankincense pillow mist recipe to help you drift off to dreamland in delicious style. Like all that alliteration?

    I have had trouble sleeping lately and use all sorts of things! I have a pillow mist I bought from Avon, Bach rescue remedy drops, a lavender roll on for my wrists and temples plus the essential oil diffuser!

    I also have crystals by my bed that are good for promoting a good night’s sleep, plus some that were recommended for me by a crystal healer.

    My sleep is better after all of that!

      I’ve heard a lot of people mention the Rescue Remedy drops – I really need to track some down and try them! I have to layer on all the help I can get to sleep well. I’m really glad to know I’m not the only one – my mom and husband seem capable of simply closing their eyes and falling to sleep instantly.
