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.
