Cool Oil Formulation for Topical & Inhalation Use
Question
Hello, I would like to ask for more information.
I want to make a Cool Oil from Essential Oils that can be inhaled to relieve dizziness, provide a fresh and relaxing scent, and can also be applied to the skin, temples, or other points on the body to reduce aches and fatigue, and also contain skin nourishing vitamins.
For the ingredients, I would like to include:
- Essential Oils
- Which oil is recommended as the carrier oil? Is Jojoba Oil suitable? Because it contains Vitamin E.
- If I want to increase the cooling sensation, can I add Menthol Crystals?
- Are there any other ingredients needed?
Do you have a recommended formula, including the required quantities and ratios?
Could you please provide some guidance?
Thank you very much.
Answer
Cool Oil Formula Recommendation
This formula is designed for a Cool Oil that can be inhaled for refreshing and dizziness relief, and applied topically to pulse points and areas of muscle ache.
Ingredients:
- Carrier Oil: Such as Jojoba Oil
- Essential Oils: A blend of essential oils known for refreshing, relaxing, and muscle-soothing properties (e.g., Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Lavender).
- Menthol Crystals: For cooling sensation.
- Vitamin E: Tocopheryl Acetate for skin benefits.
Formula Structure (by weight):
- Carrier Oil (e.g., Jojoba Oil): 88 - 97%
- Essential Oils (Total): 1 - 5% (Adjust based on desired scent strength and safety for application area)
- Menthol Crystals: 1 - 5% (Adjust based on desired cooling intensity; start lower for sensitive skin/areas)
- Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): 0.5 - 2%
Example Formula (for 100g):
- Jojoba Oil: 92.5g
- Essential Oils (Blend): 3g (e.g., 1.5g Peppermint, 1g Eucalyptus, 0.5g Lavender - adjust blend to your preference)
- Menthol Crystals: 4g
- Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): 0.5g
Instructions:
- Weigh the Carrier Oil (Jojoba Oil) into a heat-safe container.
- Add the Menthol crystals to the oil. Gently warm the oil using a double boiler or warm water bath (do not use direct high heat or microwave) and stir until the Menthol crystals are completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and let the oil cool down to below 40°C.
- Add the Essential Oils and Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate).
- Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Pour the finished Cool Oil into a clean, preferably dark glass bottle to protect it from light. Store in a cool, dark place.
Important Considerations:
- Safety: Always perform a patch test before applying the oil to a large area of skin. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Use caution if you have sensitive skin.
- Essential Oil Quality: Ensure you use high-quality, pure essential oils suitable for cosmetic use.
- Menthol Concentration: Start with a lower percentage of Menthol crystals and increase gradually if you desire a stronger cooling effect, while staying within safe limits.
