Cosmetic Recipe: "Cooling & Soothing Foot Refresh Spray"

Craft a refreshing and invigorating foot spray that soothes tired feet and leaves them feeling revitalized throughout the day, perfectly utilizing the All-Day Foot Care Active Complex.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, spray bottles) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Combine Phase A: In a clean beaker, measure out the distilled water and witch hazel distillate. Stir gently.
3. Prepare Menthol (if needed): If using menthol crystals, dissolve them first in a small amount of Polysorbate 80 (a solubilizer) or a tiny bit of high-proof alcohol, then add to the water phase. This ensures even dispersion.
4. Incorporate Actives (Phase B): Add the All-Day Foot Care Active Complex, dissolved menthol (if applicable), Tea Tree Essential Oil, and Peppermint Essential Oil to Phase A. Stir well for several minutes to ensure all ingredients are uniformly dispersed.
5. Add Preservative (Phase C): Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the foot spray mixture. Stir thoroughly for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure it's evenly distributed throughout the solution.
6. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your spray. For foot products, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally suitable. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
7. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished foot spray into a clean, sterile spray bottle.

Recommendations for Use:

• Optimal Dosing: For refreshing foot sprays, a 3% inclusion rate of the All-Day Foot Care Active Complex is ideal to provide noticeable benefits without making the product sticky or heavy. Adjust slightly based on desired intensity.
• Application: Spray directly onto clean, dry feet whenever refreshment is needed. Can be used throughout the day, inside shoes, or after exercise.
• Storage: Store the finished foot spray in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. The preservative will ensure shelf life, but proper storage enhances product stability.
• Patch Test: As with any new cosmetic product, perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application to check for any sensitivities or reactions.
• Sensory Experience: The peppermint and menthol contribute to a strong cooling sensation. Adjust their percentage if you prefer a milder effect.
• Consistency: Consistent use will yield the best results for ongoing foot comfort and revitalization.
