Cosmetic Recipe: "Tropical Glow" Nourishing Body Oil

Create a luxurious and deeply nourishing body oil that leaves skin soft, supple, and radiant, enhanced by the goodness of Banana Oil Extract.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, bottles) is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Combine Base Oils: In a clean glass beaker, combine the sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, and apricot kernel oil. Stir gently to mix.
3. Add Banana Oil Extract: Carefully add the Banana Oil Extract to the base oil mixture. Stir very gently for several minutes to ensure it is fully dispersed. Remember not to heat the mixture above 40°C.
4. Incorporate Actives: Add the Vitamin E (Tocopherol) to the oil blend and stir well.
5. Add Fragrance (Optional): If using an essential oil or fragrance oil blend, add it now and stir gently until fully incorporated.
6. Transfer to Bottle: Using a funnel, carefully pour the finished "Tropical Glow" Nourishing Body Oil into a clean, amber or dark glass bottle (to protect from light) with a pump or dropper dispenser.
7. Labeling: Apply a beautiful label to your bottle with the product name, ingredients, and preparation date.

Recommendations for Use:

• Inclusion Rate: The recommended inclusion rate for Banana Oil Extract is 0.05-5% in the active phase. Always start with a lower percentage and adjust based on desired effect and product consistency.
• Heat Sensitivity: It is critical not to heat the Banana Oil Extract above 40°C. For formulations requiring a heated oil phase, add the extract after the emulsion has formed and cooled to below 40°C, during the cool-down phase, or directly into cold processed formulations.
• Storage: Store finished products containing Banana Oil Extract in a cool, dark place, ideally in amber or opaque containers, to protect the natural goodness and extend shelf life.
• Compatibility: Always perform a small-scale test batch to ensure the Banana Oil Extract is compatible with your other ingredients and that the final product has the desired texture and stability.
• Sensory Experience: The light, slightly fruity aroma inherent in the banana extract can subtly enhance your product's scent profile, even without added fragrance.
• Application: Apply the body oil to damp skin after showering or bathing for optimal absorption and to lock in moisture. Can also be used for massage.
