1. Add it to your bath.

A few drops of Shampure Composition Oil adds aroma and moisture to the water. Just relaaaaaaax and enjoy.

2. Pamper your skin.

Many Shampure fans like to add Composition Oil to their daily body moisturizer to really seal in softness, especially in the winter months.

3. Use it as cuticle oil.

It’s perfect for at-home manicures or touchups, as the oil keeps your cuticles conditioned and moisturized.

4. Bring it to yoga.

Enhance your meditation or yoga practice with the calming aroma of Shampure Composition Oil. Just add it to your wrists and breathe it in before final savasana.

5. Enhance your touch.

Shampure Composition Oil is a wonderful massage oil, whether it’s for your full body or just hands and feet. The aroma creates an environment of calm restoration.

6. Treat your scalp.

Nourish the skin of your scalp with Shampure Composition Oil. Simply massage it in before you shampoo.

7. Wear it like perfume.

Apply a few drops to your pulse points, like wrists and neck, and wear the aroma like perfume. You’re welcome in advance for the compliments.

8. Use it in a breathing ritual.

Shampure Composition is a great addition to the 4-7-8 breath ritual, also known as the relaxing breath ritual. The ritual focuses on deep breathing, which can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve oxygen exchange, lower blood pressure and heart rate, and more.

Here’s how it works:

• Apply a few drops of oil to your inner wrists and rub them together.

• Place inner wrists in front of your nose.

• Inhale through your nose for a count of 4.

• Hold your breath for a count of 7.

• Exhale through your mouth for a count of 8.

• Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 breath cycles.

9. Give it as a gift.

We always say that there’s no better bouquet than the 25 pure plant and flower essences that make up Shampure. Wrap it up with care and gift it to someone you love — they’ll probably love it as much as you do.
