Combining Rose Hip Oil with Other Oils and Addressing Argan Oil Odor

Yes, you can certainly combine Rose Hip Oil with other natural oils. Natural oils are generally compatible and can be mixed to create custom blends tailored to your skin's needs. You can also incorporate oil-soluble active ingredients into your oil blend.

To achieve the results you're looking for – reducing acne inflammation, minimizing wrinkles, fading dark/red spots, and promoting smooth skin – consider blending Rose Hip Oil with oils or active ingredients known for these benefits:

• For reducing acne inflammation and redness: Rose Hip Oil itself has properties that help reduce skin inflammation and redness from acne. You could also consider adding oil-soluble anti-acne actives like Actin AC or QD-365 Anti-Acne Complex. RareGinseng®-GF2 also offers anti-inflammatory benefits.
• For reducing wrinkles: Rose Hip Oil helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Ingredients like Wrinkle-Lax™ are specifically designed for wrinkle reduction. Perfect-C™ (an oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative) and RareGinseng®-GF2 can also help with anti-aging and stimulating collagen production.
• For reducing dark/red spots (whitening): Rose Hip Oil can help with redness from acne. Oil-soluble whitening agents such as Perfect-C™, Activated Resorcinol™, Phenylethyl Resorcinol, or ChromaWhite™ can be added to target dark spots and improve overall skin tone. Actin AC can also help reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

When creating your blend, ensure that any added active ingredients are oil-soluble and follow their recommended usage rates.

Regarding the odor of Argan Oil, it is common for virgin, unrefined Argan Oil to have a distinct scent. To reduce this odor, you can use a deodorized version of Argan Oil, such as Argan Oil (Organic - Virgin - Deodorized). Alternatively, as suggested by the staff, you can add a small amount of Citromask (around 0.5%) to your oil blend to help mask the natural scent.

Remember to store your oil blends in a cool, dark place to maintain their freshness and efficacy.
