This extraction method carefully preserves the plant's valuable compounds in a lipid base, ensuring optimal delivery and absorption into the skin. As a natural, oil-soluble ingredient, it's a perfect fit for a wide range of oil-based and emulsified cosmetic formulations.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Adapt & Glow" Restorative Facial Oil

Create a luxurious, potent facial oil that helps your skin adapt to daily stressors, restores radiance, and deeply nourishes, featuring the powerful Rhodiola Rosea Oil Extract.

Instructions for Preparing "Adapt & Glow" Restorative Facial Oil:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, dropper bottle) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.

2. Combine Phase A: In a clean glass beaker, combine the Jojoba Oil, Rosehip Oil, and Squalane. Stir gently to ensure they are well mixed.

3. Add Phase B: Once Phase A is fully blended, add the Rhodiola Rosea Oil Extract, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Lavender Essential Oil, and Frankincense Essential Oil.

4. Gentle Mixing: Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly for several minutes. Since all ingredients are oil-soluble, they will integrate seamlessly.

5. Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished facial oil into your clean, sterile amber glass dropper bottle. Amber glass helps protect the delicate oils and extract from light degradation.

6. Label: Label your bottle clearly with the product name and date of manufacture.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage: The 5% concentration of Rhodiola Rosea Oil Extract in this recipe provides a potent dose for skin adaptation and rejuvenation. You can adjust the percentage within the recommended range of 0.5-5% based on your specific formulation goals.

• Temperature Sensitivity: It is crucial to add Rhodiola Rosea Oil Extract at room temperature (below 40°C). High heat can degrade its valuable active compounds, reducing its efficacy.

• Oil-Solubility: As an oil-soluble extract, it integrates seamlessly into anhydrous (water-free) formulations like facial oils, balms, and the oil phase of emulsions (creams, lotions).

• Storage: Store the finished facial oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain its stability and effectiveness. The Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant for the oils, extending shelf life.

• Application: Apply 3-5 drops of the facial oil to clean skin after cleansing and toning, morning and/or evening. Gently massage into the face, neck, and décolletage. This oil can be used alone or layered under a moisturizer.

• Skin Types: This oil is particularly beneficial for mature, dry, sensitive, or stressed skin. Its adaptogenic properties make it excellent for those exposed to environmental pollutants.

• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin or are new to essential oils.
