Additional Information
This is a great starting recipe and some modifications could certainly be made to get your ideal results. For example, if you'd like your fragrance oil to be more potent, you could add more fragrance oil (assuming the level of fragrance oil does not exceed the IFRA maximum concentration level) and add less carrier oil to compensate. We have not tested changing the percentage of vitamin E.
Fractionated coconut oil is an all-natural carrier oil that absorbs easily into the skin, making it ideal for topical applications. A light oil that provides a soothing barrier while not clogging pores makes it great for dry or irritated skin. Leaves your skin feeling smooth and healthy.
Jojoba oil is odorless and colourless. It is also hypoallergenic and a humectant ingredient - meaning it attracts moisture to the skin. Although it has moisturizing properties it is absorbed quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. Jojoba oil gives your roll-on perfume a luxurious feeling which is why we highly recommend it for this recipe.
Other carrier oils could be considered for this recipe instead of jojoba oil. However we have not thoroughly tested these alternative oils with these ratios and they would need to be further tested by you, the creator before selling. Other carrier oils to consider instead of using jojoba oil include:
- Grapeseed oil
- Almond oil
- Camellia oil
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant and has many skincare benefits including softening the skin, moisture retention and ultimately protecting the skin from environmental damage. It is important to note that vitamin E is NOT a preservative. While it can help extend the shelf life of products by delaying the onset of rancidity, it does not prevent microbial growth.
Happy creating!
