The provided information details how to make a sea salt infused body oil, not fragrance oil in the traditional sense. Here's how to create that type of infused oil:
Ingredients
Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
---|---|---|
Fine Bokek Dead Sea Salt | ½ cup | Provides minerals and texture. |
Fine Ceara Sea Salt | ½ cup | Adds different mineral composition and texture. |
Grapeseed Oil | 4oz | Light and easily absorbed carrier oil. |
Avocado Oil | 2oz | Rich in vitamins and adds moisturizing properties. |
Essential/Fragrance Oil Blend | 20-30 drops | Provides the desired scent; sea-inspired blends are popular. |
Instructions
-
Mix the Salts: Combine the Bokek Dead Sea Salt and Ceara Sea Salt in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Combine the Oils: In a separate container, mix the grapeseed oil and avocado oil.
-
Combine Everything: Pour the oil mixture into a glass or plastic storage jar, ideally one with an airtight seal.
-
Add Scent: Incorporate 20-30 drops of your chosen essential or fragrance oil blend to the oil mixture. A blend that evokes the sea (e.g., sea salt, ocean breeze, citrus) is recommended.
Important Considerations:
- Storage: Use a clean, airtight container to store your sea salt infused oil. This prevents contamination and extends its shelf life.
- Skin Sensitivity: Test a small amount of the oil on your skin before applying it liberally. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
- Salt Dissolving: The salt will likely not fully dissolve. This provides a gentle exfoliating effect when applying the oil.
- Fragrance Oils vs. Essential Oils: While essential oils offer aromatherapy benefits, fragrance oils are designed solely for scent and are usually more economical. Choose based on your needs and preferences.
