I fell in love with Rosalina the second I smelled it for the first time. It has so much to offer because of being so skin friendly (a lot of linalol) and having gentle respiratory benefits(minimal oxide content compared to Eucalyptus globulus). The smell is a sweet combination of Lavender and Eucalyptus with a woodsy and buttery note that is difficult to explain. It simply smells beautiful.
For small children, Rosalina is an excellent substitute for Eucalyptus for respiratory issues.

Respiratory Chest ButterCarefully melt 2 ounces of Virgin Organic Shea Butter in a double boiler (don't overheat!), then add the following essential oils (appx. 5% dilution for acute use):
- 20 drops Rosalina
- 20 drops Ravintsara
- 10 drops Cedarwood
If you are in a hurry, you can simply add these essential oils to 2 ounces of liquid carrier (jojoba or fractionated coconut oil). The benefit of the shea butter is that is stays on longer.
