Choosing a Mild Essential Oil for Serum
Question
I am making a skin and hair serum using Fractionated Coconut Oil as the base. I want to add a mild scent to the serum. Can you recommend a mild essential oil that is suitable for this type of serum formulation?
Answer
Choosing a Mild Essential Oil for Your Serum
You're looking for a mild essential oil to add a pleasant scent to your skin and hair serum made with Fractionated Coconut Oil. As the previous response mentioned, fragrance preference is very personal, so the best scent for you will depend on your individual taste.
However, based on your interest in a mild scent, you might consider Honeysuckle Oil. Honeysuckle is often described as having a sweet, floral, and pleasant aroma that is not overpowering.
When adding any essential oil to a carrier oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil for skin and hair application, it's crucial to use a safe dilution ratio. A common guideline for body products is a 1-2% dilution (about 6-12 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil). Always start with a lower concentration and perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying it more widely.
You can explore other essential oils available to find a scent that you personally find mild and appealing for your serum.
