How to Use
Apply a small amount to the mid-lengths and ends of dry or slightly damp hair.
Leave on for approximately 30–60 minutes, then shampoo thoroughly.
Use approximately once a week, adjusting the amount according to your hair type and length.
For very dry, coarse or curly hair, a slightly larger amount may be used if required.
Formulation Notes
This is an anhydrous (water-free) formulation, so a conventional water-soluble preservative is not required.
Vitamin E is included as an antioxidant to help slow oxidation of the oils. It is not a preservative.
Keep water out of the product and use clean, dry equipment and packaging during manufacture.
A pump or narrow-opening bottle is recommended rather than a jar, as it helps minimise contamination during use.
Optional Fragrance
A fragrance or essential oil may be added if desired. Always check the supplier’s recommended usage rate and current IFRA documentation for the intended application before adding fragrance.
If fragrance is added, reduce the amount of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride by the same percentage so that the final formulation remains at 100%.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Important
For personal use, make small batches and use clean equipment and packaging.
If making this product for sale, appropriate stability, packaging and safety assessments should be carried out before placing the product on the market. Ensure that the finished product complies with the applicable cosmetic regulations and labelling requirements in your country.
