Directions For Use:

When completed this will look like a thickened oil and can be pumped out and put into the bath to turn it milky and to help condition the skin while bathing. If you don't have a bath the mixture can be used as a facial wash for dry skin as the polyglyceryl-3 palmitate will gently remove dirt from the face while the oils and butters will moisturise. Be sure to rinse off and pat dry before continuing your usual routine

Storage & Shelf Life

Shelf life testing hasn't been carried out but the mixture is expected to remain stable and usable if kept dry for between 3-6 months. No preservative is required as this is an oil-only mix and the oils used are relatively stable against oxidation. Keep away from bright light, moisture and extreme heat and cold as with all cosmetic formulations.

Caution:

Essential oils can irritate sensitive skin, you don't have to add them to this recipe and always perform a patch test on your blend before using the product on the body or face.
Glyceryl Caprylate can sting very sensitive skin. It is required in this recipe to help the formulation function but if you have a sensitivity to this ingredient or try your blend and it stings you can leave this out. We have reduced the level of Glyceryl Caprylate in this formula to 5% (from a recommended 10%) to reduce the likelihood of irritation.
