💡 Usage Recommendations

Skin application — Apply directly to cleansed skin using a cotton pad or fingertips. Use as a facial toner, clarifying lotion, or soothing mist for acne-prone, oily, or combination skin. Suitable for after-epilation care and as a gentle antiseptic rinse for minor wounds and surface imperfections.

Cosmetic ingredient — Incorporate into DIY formulations as the aqueous phase. Use in clarifying lotions, toners, facial mists (50–100% of the aqueous phase), emulsions (10–50% of the aqueous phase), and scalp care preparations (15–40%). Pairs well with lemon, eucalyptus radiata, true lavender, rose geranium, and palmarosa in skin care formulations.

Capillary — Apply to the scalp as a purifying rinse or incorporate into scalp serums and hair masks. Effective for oily scalps, dandruff-prone hair, and anti-lice preparations. Use as a final rinse after shampooing or as a leave-in scalp spray.

Massage — Use as a refreshing, purifying massage medium on the body, feet, and hands. Suitable for post-sport care and areas prone to odor or bacterial imbalance. Can be combined with a carrier oil for a light, purifying body massage.

Spray — Transfer into a spray bottle and mist over the face, body, or into the air as a purifying and refreshing spray. Effective for air sanitizing and refreshing indoor spaces. Pairs well with eucalyptus radiata or peppermint for respiratory and immunity support.
