Cosmetic Recipe: Spicy Citrus Awakening Body Scrub

Instructions:

1. In a clean bowl, combine the fine grain sea salt with the Jojoba Oil and Sweet Almond Oil. Mix well until the salt is evenly coated with the oils.
2. Add the Lindera umbellata Essential Oil to the mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the aroma.
3. Incorporate the Vitamin E Oil and mix gently.
4. Transfer the body scrub to a clean, airtight container.

Application Recommendations:

• While in the shower or bath, take a small amount of the Spicy Citrus Awakening Body Scrub and gently massage it onto damp skin using circular motions. Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees, and feet.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
• Use 1-2 times per week for smooth and invigorated skin. 
  
• Due to the potential for photosensitivity with citrusy notes (though Lindera is not a true citrus), it's advisable to avoid direct sun exposure after using this scrub.
• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any potential sensitivity to the essential oil.
• Store the scrub in a cool, dry place to prevent clumping. Adjust the amount of Lindera umbellata Essential Oil to your preference for fragrance intensity.
