Instructions for Preparing the Face Oil:
-
Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all equipment, utensils, and the final bottle using isopropyl alcohol. Allow them to air dry completely.
-
Combine Base Oils: In a clean, dry glass beaker, measure and combine the Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Rosehip Oil.
-
Add Actives (Cold Phase): Ensure the temperature of the oil blend is below 40°C. Add the Corn Silk Oil Extract, Vitamin E, and Lavender Essential Oil (if using).
-
Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly with a clean glass rod or spatula until all ingredients are fully combined and the oil appears uniform. Avoid vigorous shaking, which can introduce air bubbles.
-
Bottle: Carefully pour the finished face oil into a clean, sterile dark glass bottle with a dropper.
Recommendations for Use:
-
Usage Percentage: This recipe uses 5% Corn Silk Oil Extract, providing a potent blend for skin nourishment and soothing. Always adhere to the recommended input range of 0.05-5% and do not exceed it.
-
Temperature Sensitivity: It is paramount to add the extract only to the cooled oil blend (below 40°C). Heating above this temperature can degrade its valuable bioactive compounds.
-
Storage: Store the finished face oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain its stability and effectiveness. The shelf life will depend on the freshness of your oils and the presence of Vitamin E as an antioxidant, typically 6-12 months.
-
Application: Apply 2-4 drops of the face oil to clean, damp skin (after cleansing and toning) in the morning and/or evening. Gently massage into the face and neck until absorbed. It can be used alone or layered under a moisturizer.
-
For All Skin Types: This face oil is suitable for all skin types, especially dry, sensitive, or mature skin, providing deep nourishment and promoting a healthy glow.
-
Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies.
