I regularly use reed diffuser essential oils purchased from MySkinRecipes. I want to mix my own diffuser liquid using safe ingredients, as I have small children at home. I want to use only natural components. Does the MySkinRecipes Reed Diffuser Base contain synthetic ingredients? If I want to create a base similar to the diffuser base using only natural components, what would you recommend? Thank you.
