A recent trip to Norway required some thoughts about the skin protection against cold and wind. As a result, cream and oil recipes were created. This post is about the oil.
INCI: Vitis vinifera, Helianthus annus hybride oil, Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil, Persea gratissima, Tocopherol (DL-alpha-Tocopherol), Hippophae rhamnoides, Cinnamomum ceylanicum oil
| Stage | Ingredient | % | Amount in batch (g) |
| A | Grape seed oil, refined | 35.00% | 17.50 |
| A | Antioxidant (should be 2%) | 2.00% | 1.00 |
| A | Sunflower oil | 30.00% | 15.00 |
| A | Almond oil | 20.00% | 10.00 |
| A | Avocado oil | 10.00% | 5.00 |
| A | Sea-buckthorn oil | 2.90% | 1.45 |
| A | Cinnamon bark oil | 0.10% | 0.05 |
| TOTAL | 100.00% | 50.00 |
Formulation procedure:
Blend all components of Stage A together.
Some observations and comments:
The oil is absorbed quickly and does not leave greasy marks but a velvety skin feeling.
As this is an anhydrous product, it is preservative free and its shelf-life depends on the expiry date of its components.
Other benefits:
The cheerful yellow-orange colour due to the sea buckthorn oil is the additional aesthetic bonus to the main purpose of the finished product.
A “winter” smell of cinnamon creates a perfect Christmas mood.: -)
By the way, this oil can be used both for body and face care.
