Instructions:
- In a clean glass bottle with a spray nozzle, combine the distilled water and witch hazel hydrosol.
- In a separate small container, combine the Prunus mume Essential Oil with the solubilizer and gently mix until the essential oil is fully dispersed. This step is crucial to ensure the essential oil disperses evenly in the water-based solution.
- Add the essential oil and solubilizer mixture to the water and witch hazel blend.
- Incorporate the glycerin and gently stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully combined and the liquid is clear.
- Secure the spray nozzle onto the bottle.
Application Recommendations:
- Close your eyes and lightly mist the facial mist over your face and neck after cleansing or throughout the day to refresh and hydrate the skin.
- Allow the mist to air dry or gently pat it into the skin.
- Use as a toner after cleansing or as a refreshing spritz throughout the day.
- Store the facial mist in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
- As with all essential oils, perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any potential sensitivity.
- Adjust the number of drops of Prunus mume Essential Oil to your preference for fragrance intensity. Start with a lower concentration and increase gradually if desired. The solubilizer is necessary to properly disperse the essential oil in the water-based formula and prevent separation.
