Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment, including beakers, stirring rods, and your final dropper bottle, using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Combine Base Oils: In a clean glass beaker or measuring cup, accurately weigh and combine the Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Rosehip Oil. Stir gently to mix.
3. Add Banana Oil Extract & Vitamin E: Measure out the Banana Oil Extract and Vitamin E. Add them to the base oil mixture.

4. Add Essential Oils (Optional): If using, add the Ylang Ylang and Frankincense essential oils to the blend.
5. Gentle Mixing: Stir the entire mixture gently but thoroughly for several minutes to ensure all ingredients are evenly dispersed. Avoid vigorous shaking, as this can introduce air bubbles.
