*NOTES*:
For this recipe, I've used a lot of essencial oils leftovers I had, so the blend became complicated for such small quantity. You must respect the total amount (0.2 fl.oz) but you can use only 1 or 2 essencial oils, like May Chang or lemongrass.
The recipe in the video uses 16ml of essencial oils. It's because I've done a recipe for 450g of oils and forgot to adjust the essencial oils quantity. You should not use more than 6ml total
