Cosmetic Recipe: Gentle Exfoliating Carob Face Scrub

Instructions:

1. In a clean bowl, combine the Carob Light Valyen TM and fine ground oats. Mix well.
2. Add the honey to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
3. Gradually add water or floral hydrosol, mixing until a smooth, spreadable paste forms. Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your desired consistency.

Recommendations for Use:

• Begin by incorporating Carob Light Valyen TM at a low percentage (e.g., 1-5%) in your formulations and adjust as needed to achieve the desired effect.
• For color applications, conduct small batch tests to determine the final shade in your specific base formulation.
• When using as an exfoliant, advise users to apply gently in circular motions and avoid excessive scrubbing.
• Store Carob Light Valyen TM in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its quality.
• Ensure proper dispersion of the powder in your formulations to prevent clumping. Using a high-shear mixer or homogenizer may be beneficial for certain applications.
