Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, bottles with droppers) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
- Combine Carrier Oils: In a clean beaker, measure out the Jojoba Oil, Rosehip Oil, Squalane, and Meadowfoam Seed Oil.
- Add Strawberry Leaf Extract & Vitamin E: Add the Strawberry Leaf Oil Extract and Vitamin E to the carrier oil blend.
- Gentle Mixing: Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly with a glass stirring rod for several minutes to ensure all ingredients are uniformly dispersed. Avoid vigorous shaking, as this can introduce air bubbles.
- Add Essential Oils (Optional): If using, carefully add the Frankincense and Neroli essential oils to the blend. Stir again to ensure even distribution.
- Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished facial oil into a clean, sterile dark glass bottle with a dropper. Dark glass helps protect the delicate oils from light degradation.
- Labeling: Label your bottle with the product name, ingredients, and preparation date.
Recommendations for Use:
- Optimal Dosing: Stick to the recommended usage rate of 0.05-5% for Strawberry Leaf Oil Extract in the active phase. For facial oils, 3-5% provides a good concentration of benefits.
- Temperature Sensitivity: Crucially, do not heat the Strawberry Leaf Oil Extract above 40°C in your final product formulation. Always add it to the cooling phase of emulsions or to cold-process formulations. This ensures the integrity and efficacy of its beneficial compounds are preserved.
- Storage: Store the finished facial oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. The dark glass bottle further aids in preserving the delicate oils and extracts.
- Patch Test: Before widespread use, always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) to check for any sensitivities or reactions.
- Application: After cleansing and toning, apply 2-4 drops of the facial oil to your face and neck, gently massaging it in until absorbed. Can be used morning and night.
- Ingredient Compatibility: Strawberry Leaf Oil Extract is oil-soluble, making it compatible with other oils, butters, and lipid-soluble actives. Ensure your formulation's base is suitable for oil incorporation.
