We get it—some days you lose control of your chill: Road construction makes your car clanky, interrupted sleep makes you cranky, and in-law drama makes you crazy. No matter what is challenging your chill, fight back with calm-me-down aromas.

If you’ve been frantically searching “Can I use essential oils for relaxation?” you’re probably in need of some mellower vibes. These seven oils will have you bragging about your big chill in no time!

Lavender essential oil

1. Lavender essential oil

We know it’s obvious, but we’re saying it anyway: Lavender is the king of chill! As one of your (and our!) favorite oils, the mellow and subtle scent of Lavender is an unequivocal pick for relaxation. Keep a bottle at home, in the car, at work, and in your bag so it can accompany you on your quest for chill every day!

Our favorite way to relax with Lavender: Roll with it!

Don’t worry about transferring Lavender oil to a roller bottle, simply replace the cap with an AromaGlide® Roller Fitment and you’re ready to swipe! But unlike swiping on social media, which might ramp up your stress, swiping on Lavender brings on only the chill vibes.

2. Copaiba essential oil

Your one-stop chill shop, Copaiba essential oil is full of really relaxing benefits. Its balmy scent makes you feel as zen as cooling down with shavasana, and using it topically helps ban blemishes—yet another way to keep from losing your cool. Try it with other gentle scents like Lavender and Ylang Ylang to compound its effects.

Our favorite way to relax with Copaiba: Rub it in!

When you find yourself pacing with your shoulders hiked up to your ears, it’s time for a relaxing massage! Add Copaiba oil to V-6™ and rub it into your shoulders, back, and feet. This calming oil will have you feeling chill for real in no time.
