Faqs
Q: Can I use this on my face?
A: It is designed for hand and body use, some people do use gentle lotion bases on the face, but facial skin can be more reactive, so patch testing is essential.
Q: Can I add essential oils directly to the bottle?
A: You can customise it, but it is best to mix a small amount in a separate clean container first so you can test scent strength and skin comfort before scaling up.
Q: How much can I customise it without affecting stability?
A: Small additions are generally easiest to keep stable, but the more you add, the more you change the balance of the formula, especially if you add water-based extracts or powders.
Q: Why does cleanliness matter when customising?
A: Any added ingredients or unclean tools can introduce microbes, which can shorten shelf life and affect product safety.

I'm really enjoying this base - I use it as a cream base, lightly customised. It's very neutral and absorbs well.
