Cosmetic Recipe: "Citrus Grove" Uplifting Body Oil

Create a luxurious and uplifting body oil that nourishes the skin and invigorates the senses, using the exquisite Lemon Verbena Essential Oil.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (glass bottles, droppers, measuring cups) is thoroughly sanitized using isopropyl alcohol and allowed to air dry completely.
2. Combine Carrier Oils: In a clean, dark glass bottle (preferably with a dropper top), pour the Sweet Almond Oil and Jojoba Oil.
3. Add Vitamin E: Add the Vitamin E Oil to the mixture. This acts as an antioxidant for the oil blend, helping to prevent rancidity and nourish the skin.
4. Incorporate Lemon Verbena Essential Oil: Carefully add 2-3 drops of Lemon Verbena Essential Oil to the blend. Start with 2 drops and add more if a stronger aroma is desired, but do not exceed 4 drops for 50ml of base.
5. Mix Thoroughly: Close the bottle securely and gently roll it between your palms or invert it several times to thoroughly mix all the oils. Avoid vigorous shaking.
6. Labeling: Apply a clear label with the product name, ingredients, and date of creation.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosing: When using Lemon Verbena Essential Oil in leave-on products like body oils, always adhere to recommended dilution rates. For general body application, 1-4 drops per 50ml of carrier oil is a safe and effective range. Remember, essential oils are highly concentrated.
• Skin Sensitivity: Although generally well-tolerated, perform a patch test on a small area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before widespread application, especially for individuals with sensitive skin.
• Photosensitivity: Lemon Verbena essential oil, like many citrus-scented oils, may contain compounds that can cause photosensitivity. While the risk is generally lower for steam-distilled Verbena compared to expressed citrus oils, it's prudent to advise avoiding direct sun exposure on areas where the oil has been applied for at least 12 hours, especially at higher concentrations.
• Storage: Store the finished body oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to preserve the integrity of the essential oils and prevent oxidation of the carrier oils. A dark glass bottle helps protect the oil from light degradation.
• Aromatherapy Benefits: Inhale the uplifting aroma during application for added mood-boosting benefits.
• Usage Frequency: Apply daily after showering or as needed for hydration and a delightful natural fragrance. A small amount goes a long way.
• External Use Only: Emphasize that this product is for external topical application only and should not be ingested.
