What Does It Mean to Be a Simply Earth Subscriber?

The product that has been changing lives: The Essential Oil Recipe Box.

We have been blown away by the reviews on our Simply Earth Essential Oil Recipe Box. 

But we know new subscribers have questions. So we thought we’d ask our subscribers in the Simply Earth Recipe Box Subscriber Facebook Group what they think a new subscriber should know. 

After all, the best people to tell you about what it means to be a subscriber are Simply Earth Recipe Box Subscribers!

This post is based on customer responses when we asked: 

When you first subscribed to our Recipe Box, what were some of the things that

  • surprised you?
  • you wish you knew?
  • you absolutely loved the box?

What Surprised Our Subscribers

1. Amazing Price & Big Bonus Box

The number one answer we got was the price! They were surprised at how much goodness they got in their Recipe Box and Big Bonus for $39. They also wanted to make sure you know that you get a Big Bonus Box every six boxes you purchase!

You’ll be using all the ingredients in the Simply Earth Big Bonus Box for your recipes. You might not use every ingredient in the Big Bonus Box each month, but you’ll likely be using it the next month!

2. So Much Free Education

We think using essential oils should be easy. You should be able to use them with confidence and clarity.

That’s why we create videos and blog posts to go with each of our recipes each month. You can watch us make the recipes to clear up any questions you have. 

Plus subscribers get free access to our Essential Oil Hero Course. A course that teaches you what essential oils are and how to use them. With this course you’ll learn how to make your own essential oil recipes. 

The Essential Oil Hero Course has 10 modules that teach you how to take down toxins in a different way in each module. People love the Essential Oil Hero Course!

 “The amount of extras in the bonus box, the Heroes Course (which is AMAZING), and the idea that I would learn how to use the oils, not just make the recipes” – Michelle

“For one I couldn’t believe all that you got for the price, plus getting the bonus box. And then to make recipes I’ve never had the confidence to do but you make it so easy and so fun, that I can’t wait until the next month comes, and then to add the heroes course and to learn things I never understood before, such as the blending factors. You’re a wonderful company in always helping us to have a toxin free home.” – Denise

“You are getting great oils at a great price. The boxes come with recipes and every 6 months you get another bonus box. This is such a great deal. And what you learn from the Heroes Course is a huge bonus.” – Amy

Things Our Subscribers Wish They Knew

1. Simply Earth Referral Codes

We have an amazing referral program. If you have a friend sign up using your code, you’ll get 50% off your next box and your friend will get $10 off his or her first five boxes. We call this our 50/50 Referral Program. 

After you sign up, your referral code will be easy to find in your Simply Earth account and will also be sent to you in an email. 

2. Essential Oil Hero Course

Subscribers kept coming back to this in their answers. Some new subscribers didn’t know that they would have free access to the course. They love it and have found it super helpful in learning how to use essential oils with confidence and clarity.

“I was not aware at first that the course is part of the deal. You provide so much information. Practical and important first steps to a beginner like myself.

I love the boxes. The recipe cards. And the course. But best of all I love your delivery. Simple and clear. Your passion shines through in every presentation, and your customer service is one of the best I’ve seen.” -Saralee

“As a new subscriber (& retired educator) & as I wait for my first box am going thru the course. It’s fabulous & already has answered so many of my questions on using & blending essential oils. It’s very well done. Thanks so much for this great benefit!” – Sharon

3. Ingredients

Each monthly Recipe Box comes with extra ingredients to use (along with the items in the Big Bonus Box). Some fun examples of extras we’ve included in the past are rose hydrosol, avocado oil, french green clay, and diffuser beads. Each month is something different!

Some common household ingredients (not included in the box) are occasionally required in a recipe. We don’t include items like baking soda, sugar, Epsom salt, or distilled water in our boxes. 

The items we don’t include are always inexpensive and likely something you may already have at home. 

4. Containers & Yield

Many of the recipes you make with the Essential Oil Recipe Box will need to be stored in an airtight container, like a jar. Our subscribers wanted to make sure you knew that you might want to have some of these on hand.

We include the yield of the recipe on the recipe card so you have an idea of what size jar you should use. 

5. Double Boiler

Many of our recipes ask you to melt things in a double boiler. This is a safe and gentle way to melt natural ingredients for our recipes.

A double boiler is a pan that sits inside another pan of water to safely heat. Just like you would use if you were melting chocolate. You can buy inexpensive double boilers (the one we use in our recipe videos was about $7) or you can DIY it.

If you don’t have a double boiler, you can use a jar or glass measuring cup in a pan with 2 inches of water in it

6. Preservatives, Distilled Water, & Shelf Life

All our recipes are small batches and intended to be used quickly. Because of this, we don’t include preservatives in our Recipe Box.

Many of our recipes are made with only oil-based ingredients that do not require a preservative and will have a long shelf life.

Some of our recipes include water. We always list distilled water on our recipes because this will help lengthen the shelf life of your product. When using distilled water and clean containers, we find that our recipes usually last about six weeks.

Distilled water can be purchased at most grocery stores and is usually about $1/gallon. You can also make your own distilled water. 

If you use tap water your shelf life will be closer to 3-7 days.

The estimated shelf life listed on our recipe cards is based on using distilled water in a clean container.

“I was surprised that you sent a recipe card in September’s box calling for the use of distilled water without the use of a preservative” – Lisa

“I wish there was information on adding a preservative to recipes, even if it didn’t come WITH the preservatives. That’s something I know nothing about. If it’s in the Hero’s Course, I haven’t gotten there yet. But I’d love to see that added.” – Jennifer 

Based on our subscribers’ comments on preservatives I’m happy to share that we’ll be adding a section to our Hero Course with information on preservatives in 2021!

7. Gifting or Skipping a Box

Subscribers wanted to make sure that you knew you could gift a box. This means you can choose to give your Recipe Box to a friend. Instead of the box being shipped to you, it’ll be shipped to a friend! 

You can also skip a Recipe Box easily within your Simply Earth login account if you choose!

“Ease of recipes that work SO well! Thought the recipes would just be something extra to fill the box….NO….love them! I don’t have to wallow through Pinterest fails and luck of the draw on Amazon to get a good oil. You do the work for me at a good price” – MaryAnn

“I loved all the extra things you got with the oils. I also LOVED that the oils always are worth more than $40. Such a great buy!” – Laurie

“I always thought i should have lived in 1800s. These boxes satisfy my creativeness. Every month is exciting when it comes. Absolutely love simply earth.” – Kathy

“I was so impressed with the entire presentation. Plus the bonus box supreme. November is my 6th month and looking forward to my next bonus box. It does seem like the last few months we’ve received fewer “goodies” for the recipes, but maybe it’s just me. I love everything that has come my way and I hope the quality continues. My favorite so far is autumn air. How could it get better than that” – Deb
