  • Small glass bowl or measuring cup
  • Stirring rod or spoon (glass or stainless steel preferred)
  • Measuring spoons (optional, for glycerin if not weighing)
  • 120ml spray bottle (preferably amber or frosted to protect contents from light)
  • Label (to keep track of your beautiful creation and its expiry date)

Notes

  • Gently shake before using.
  • Mist gently onto sun-exposed skin for a refreshing, cooling boost.
  • Let it absorb or pat in lightly with clean hands. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months.
  • Do a patch test before using, especially on children. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Know your allergies – always review ingredients carefully.
  • Do not spray directly on the face. Use a cosmetic cotton pad. Avoid contact with eyes.
  • Use outdoors or while standing on a towel as this mist may cause floors to become slippery.
