Another option is to use pure organic jojoba oil with liquid vitamin E and liquid vitamin C. You can blend whatever doTERRA oils you would like. I use this for my loose skin from losing weight on my abdomen and thighs, I do add Slim & Sassy to it. It is working wonders - my belly button is no longer a frown! Because I have seen so much imporvement already to my abdomen, I have contemplated using it on my face with other oils. I have a girlfriend who uses nothing but jojoba oil on her face and she has beautiful skin!
Keep in mind with jojoba oil a little goes a long way, so it only takes a tiny TINY bit!

I love doTERRA and their commitment to purity in their oils, so I was
a little disappointed when I received my tightening serum and looked
up some of the ingredients on EWG.org for safety. One of them, the
retinol palmitate, has a score of 8 which is in their danger zone. The
PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil has a score of 4-6, and phenoxyethanol
is rated 3-4 and hexylene glycol is also rated a 4. The 3-4 scores
aren't totally horrendous, but my personal goal is to purchase only
skin products with ratings of 0-2 which are judged as being very safe.
I have total confidence in the oils, but now, not in this product or
the other skin products; how can I in good conscience encourage others
to buy them? What happened to "none of the bad stuff"? I would feel
more confident if doTerra would have their skin care products
evaluated by EWG, which is a non-profit organization with no bias.
There may not even be a charge for them to do so. I am really in a
quandry now; do I tell people the oils are great, but stay away from
the other products? This doesn't make sense to me. Anyone have any
thoughts on this, or is there something I'm missing?
