Cosmetic Recipe: Soothing Facial Oil for Sensitive Skin

Create a luxurious and calming facial oil designed to nourish, soothe, and protect sensitive or reactive skin, featuring our Veronica Oil Extract.

Instructions for Preparing the Soothing Facial Oil:

1. Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment, containers, and the final dropper bottle with isopropyl alcohol. Allow them to air dry completely.

2. Combine Carrier Oils: In a clean, dry beaker or container, weigh out the Jojoba Oil and Camellia Seed Oil. Mix gently to combine.

3. Add Actives (at Room Temperature): Ensure the oil mixture is at room temperature. Add the Veronica Oil Extract, Vitamin E, and Bisabolol.

4. Gentle Mixing: Stir the mixture gently with a sanitized stirring rod or mini-whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Avoid excessive agitation to prevent air bubbles.

5. Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished facial oil into your sanitized dropper bottle.

Recommendations for Application:

• Inclusion Rate: This recipe uses 5% Veronica Oil Extract, which is at the higher end of the recommended range for an enhanced soothing effect. You can adjust it between 0.05-5% based on your desired intensity.

• Temperature Sensitivity: It is paramount to add Veronica Oil Extract to the cooled (below 40°C) oil blend. Heating above this temperature can compromise its beneficial properties.

• Oil-Solubility: As an oil-soluble extract, it blends seamlessly into anhydrous (water-free) formulations like facial oils, balms, and oil-based serums.

• Storage: Store the finished facial oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability and efficacy. A dark glass bottle is ideal.

• Usage: Apply 2-4 drops of the facial oil to clean skin morning and evening. Gently massage into the face and neck until absorbed. This oil is particularly beneficial for sensitive, dry, or irritated skin.

• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of your skin (e.g., inner forearm) before applying any new product to your entire face, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies.
