Instructions for Preparing "Purity & Protection" Foot & Nail Oil:
-
Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your tools, containers, and the final bottle using isopropyl alcohol. Allow them to air dry completely.
-
Combine Carrier Oils: In a clean glass beaker, measure out the Jojoba Oil and Neem Oil. Mix well.
-
Add Essential Oils and Actives: To the carrier oil blend, carefully add the Tagetes Erecta Essential Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil, Vitamin E, and Rosemary Extract CO2.
-

Recommendations for Use:
-
Dosage: This recipe uses 0.2% Tagetes Erecta Essential Oil, which is at the higher end of its recommended cosmetic dosage for targeted foot and nail care. Do not exceed the recommended maximum dosage of 0.2% for general cosmetic use.
-
Temperature: Essential oils are sensitive to heat. Always add them to the cooled oil blend (room temperature) to preserve their therapeutic properties.
-
Solubility: Tagetes Erecta Essential Oil is oil-soluble, making it ideal for oil blends, balms, and emulsions.
-
Storage: Store the finished oil blend in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain its potency and shelf life. A dark glass bottle will also help protect it from light degradation.
-
Application: Apply 2-3 drops of the oil directly to clean feet and nails, especially focusing on areas prone to fungal issues or odor. Massage gently until absorbed. Use daily, preferably after showering.
-
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.
-
