dōTERRA Balance Essential Oil - 15ml
Balance blends six oils into one bottle — Black Spruce, Ho Leaf, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile and Osmanthus — already mixed with Fractionated Coconut Oil rather than left neat. Blue Tansy and Blue Chamomile give the liquid a faint blue tint, which tends to surprise people the first time they hold the bottle up to the light.
The aroma is airy and woody rather than heavy — spruce and frankincense at the front, with a soft, sweet edge from the osmanthus underneath. It reads more like a walk through conifers than a typical floral bottle, and it sits lighter than some of the deeper, resinous woods in the range.
Because the bottle already contains some carrier oil, most people still add a further drop of fractionated coconut oil before applying it to wrists or the back of the neck — the same spots used for the roll-on version, just measured out by hand rather than pre-set. A couple of drops in a diffuser is plenty; it's one of the softer blends, so it sits in the background rather than filling a room.

Common questions
What does Balance smell like?
Airy and woody, led by spruce and frankincense, with a soft, sweet edge from osmanthus and blue chamomile underneath.
Why does the oil look blue?
Blue Tansy and Blue Chamomile both turn a deep blue during distillation, and that colour carries through into the finished blend.
Do I need to dilute it before applying to skin?
The bottle already contains some fractionated coconut oil, but most people still add a further drop of carrier oil for comfortable everyday use.
How is this different from Balance Touch?
Same six oils. This dropper bottle is stronger and left for you to dilute further; the roll-on is pre-measured for direct use straight from the bottle.
How many drops should I use in a diffuser?
Three to four is a good starting point — it's a gentle aroma, so it doesn't need many drops to notice.
