Instructions:

1. In a clean glass beaker, combine the Witch Hazel Hydrosol and Distilled Water.
2. In a separate small container, mix the Tetradenia riparia Essential Oil with the Polysorbate 20. Stir gently until the essential oil is fully dispersed. Polysorbate 20 helps to ensure the essential oil mixes evenly with the water-based ingredients.

4. Incorporate the Vegetable Glycerin and stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mist appears clear.
5. Carefully pour the mixture into a clean spray bottle.

Application Recommendations:

• Close your eyes and lightly mist the body mist over your body after showering or anytime you desire a refreshing and uplifting scent.
• Avoid spraying directly onto the face.
• Allow the mist to air dry on your skin.
• Store the body mist in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any potential sensitivity to the essential oil.
• Adjust the amount of Tetradenia riparia Essential Oil to your preference for fragrance intensity, starting with a lower concentration if you have sensitive skin.
