Balancing Ylang Ylang Facial Oil: A light and moisturizing facial skin care blend featuring organic jojoba, frankincense, and myrrh.
When it comes to facial oils, it seems that mature and sensitive skin types tend to get the lion’s share of attention. But oily and combination skin types can also benefit from the use of moisturizing facial oils. This balancing facial oil combines a blend of carrier oils that contain both conditioning and astringent properties. The essential oil blend we chose for this formula focuses on balancing and cleansing the skin with the addition of antiseptic properties.
Organic jojoba makes up the base of our balancing facial oil. This popular carrier oil mimics skin’s natural sebum, making it a great choice for any facial moisturizer, but particularly well suited to oily and combination skin types. Rose Hip Seed Oil is a classic facial ingredient, offering a soothing and conditioning benefit without feeling greasy or heavy. Olive Squalene provides essential moisturizing benefits to keep skin happy and healthy. Organic Virgin Coconut Oil has astringent properties which help skin to regulate its own natural sebum.

I am thinking of starting a business on making organic skin care products. Would these recipes be helpful for me to make and sell. I am just judgemental about their shelf life. Please do explain me about their shelf life through my email.
Hello, our blog recipes have been formulated in small batches for personal use. You may need to reformulate to include a preservative if you wish to sell in larger quantities requiring a longer shelf life. Though, as we remind all of our customers, all formulations should be challenge tested by a qualified laboratory to ensure that each batch is properly preserved. The method of production, the specific components of the formulation, the environment in which the batch is formulated and the method of packaging all play a crucial role in the resulting shelf life of a batch. Only lab challenge testing can determine how and if a preservative is achieving the desired results.
