Cosmetic Recipe: Soothing St. John's Wort Facial Serum

Instructions:

1. In a clean glass beaker, combine the aloe vera gel and chamomile hydrosol. Stir gently until well mixed.
2. Slowly add the St. John's Wort Glycolic Extract to the mixture, stirring continuously to ensure even distribution.
3. In a separate small container, dissolve the allantoin in a small amount of the aloe vera gel mixture, ensuring it is fully dissolved before adding it to the main mixture.
4. Incorporate the jojoba oil into the serum, stirring gently. The mixture may appear slightly cloudy due to the oil content.
5. Finally, add the broad-spectrum preservative according to the manufacturer's guidelines and stir thoroughly to ensure even preservation.
6. Carefully transfer the finished serum into a clean, dark glass bottle with a dropper or pump dispenser.

Application Recommendations:

• After cleansing and toning your face, dispense a small amount (2-3 drops) of the Soothing St. John's Wort Facial Serum onto your fingertips.
• Gently pat and smooth the serum over your face and neck, focusing on areas of irritation or redness. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
• Allow the serum to absorb fully into the skin before applying your moisturizer.
• This serum can be used once or twice daily, depending on your skin's needs and tolerance.
• Begin with once daily use, preferably in the evening, to assess your skin's reaction.
• Due to the potential for photosensitivity associated with St. John's Wort, it is crucial to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF during the day when using this serum.
• Store the serum in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency and extend its shelf life.
