LIGHT CASTOR OIL ANTI-SHINE FACIAL SERUM

Makes 100 g

Ingredients

• Castor Oil – 10 g
• Jojoba Oil – 35 g
• Grapeseed Oil – 30 g
• Squalane – 23 g
• Vitamin E – 1 g
• Essential oil or fragrance – 1 g maximum, optional

Method

1. Weigh all the carrier oils into a clean, sanitised beaker.
2. Add the Vitamin E.
3. If using fragrance or essential oil, add it last.
4. Stir thoroughly until completely uniform.
5. Pour into a 30–50 ml serum/dropper bottle.

How to use

Apply 2–3 drops to clean, slightly damp skin and gently massage in.

Formulation note

The castor oil is deliberately kept at 10%. Castor oil is naturally very viscous and glossy, so keeping the percentage low while combining it with lighter oils gives you the conditioning benefits without making the serum excessively greasy or shiny.

For a completely fragrance-free facial serum, simply omit the essential oil/fragrance and add that 1% back to the jojoba oil.
