Vegetable Glycerine is a very versatile product which is used in many cosmetic preparations.
It can be used as a base ingredient for face creams, hand lotions, body creams, body lotions, shampoo, conditioners and shower gels plus many more.
Witch Hazel can be used in many different ways too. It's a very useful astringent and is very gentle so is great for preparations designed to be used on a daily basis. It's especially good for repairing damaged or rough areas of skin.
Dilution Rates:
3% = roughly 3 drops of essential for every 5mls of base oil. If you're planning to apply to your face then a 1% blend is recommended (1 drop per 5ml). 0.5% for children aged between 3 & 7, 1%-1.5% for kids between 7 & 12. Always perform a skin patch test to check for sensitisation when using any oil or natural product for the first time.
