Recipe: Luxurious Copper Shimmer Body Oil

Create a fast-absorbing, shimmering body oil that leaves a radiant copper glow on the skin, perfect for highlighting and evening wear.

Ingredients:

• Ninety-seven grams Dry, Lightweight Carrier Oil (e.g., Fractionated Coconut Oil or Sweet Almond Oil)

• Two grams Pearlescent Copper Pigment

• One gram (approx. 20 drops) Fragrance Oil (e.g., Sandalwood or Vanilla)

Instructions for Preparation:

First Step: In a clean, sterilized mixing vessel, weigh out the Carrier Oil. Ensure the oil is at room temperature.

Second Step: Carefully weigh out the Pearlescent Copper Pigment. Slowly add the pigment to the oil base.

Third Step: Mix the oil and pigment thoroughly using a small whisk or glass rod. For best results, use a mini-mixer for one to two minutes to ensure the mica particles are fully dispersed and suspended in the oil.

Fourth Step: Introduce the Fragrance Oil, mixing gently.

Fifth Step: Pour the finished shimmer body oil into a clear bottle with a pump or dropper. The pigment will settle over time, which is normal for shimmer products.

Recommendations for Application and Storage:

• Dispersion: For optimal shine and minimal clumping, it is crucial to achieve thorough dispersion of the copper pigment in the oil.

• Usage: Before each use, shake the bottle well to re-suspend the pigment. Apply a small amount of the oil to the shoulders, legs, and décolletage for a beautiful, high-shine copper effect.

• Safety: Always wear a mask when handling fine mica powders to avoid inhalation.

• Storage: Store the body oil in a cool, dark place. The oil may require vigorous shaking if stored for extended periods.
