{"product_id":"focus_oil","title":"FOCUS Aromatherapy Roll-On","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 10 ml aromatherapy roll-on of essential oils blended for the Focus theme: eucalyptus, peppermint, sage and geranium. Eucalyptus and peppermint make it sharp and fresh, sage adds a herbal note and geranium rounds it off with a touch of green floral. It is the brightest, most mentholated scent of our three roll-ons, and the one for the daytime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three blends were designed by Claudia, the founder's 14 year old daughter, and created by Mel Foot, an aromatherapist and friend of the shop. They are made in the UK and not tested on animals, and they are a Herbastore own-label line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA roll-on is essential oil diluted in a carrier oil and sealed under a rollerball. You roll it onto the skin at pulse points, the wrists, the sides of the neck and the temples, where the warmth of the skin releases the scent. The scent fades over an hour or two, and the brand's figure of over 100 uses from 10 ml reflects how little comes out with each roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeppermint and eucalyptus both contain compounds that feel cool on the skin, which is why this blend reads as fresh the moment it is applied. Sage is a warmer, savoury herbal note that stops the blend smelling like a cough sweet, and geranium, a rosy green oil, softens the top. Of the three Herbastore blends this is the one with no obviously floral lead, so it suits people who dislike perfume-style scents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause peppermint and eucalyptus are cooling, keep this one especially well away from the eyes and do not apply it immediately after a hot shower when pores are open and the skin is sensitive. The brand has not published the carrier oil or the dilution, so we do not state them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Focus blend is also sold in the Wellbeing Trio set with the Self Love and Sleep roll-ons for £14.99.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoll onto the wrists or the temples at the start of a work session, before a long drive, or mid-afternoon when the room has gone stuffy. Breathe it in from the wrist; the cooling sensation on the skin is part of the experience. It is small enough to live in a pencil case or a laptop bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 ml roll-on bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 100 uses per bottle, per the brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e£5.99 works out at under 6p a use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal use only; keep well away from the eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssential oils are concentrated. Roll onto pulse points rather than broad areas, keep well away from the eyes, do not use on broken skin, and patch test on the inner forearm if you have reactive skin or have not used essential oils before. This is an aromatherapy product for the skin, not a food supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEucalyptus essential oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeppermint essential oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSage essential oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeranium essential oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrier oil (not specified by the brand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEucalyptus oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus or a related species.

Geranium oil comes from the leaves of Pelargonium graveolens.

It suits a pencil case, a desk drawer or a gym bag, and it is the roll-on most often bought by people who do not like floral perfumes. It also works as a cooling roll-on on the back of the neck in warm weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want something floral and soft, Self Love is the one.
