Aromatic Profile
The kit does not have one fragrance profile. Native odour may vary between the five oils and between refined, unrefined and different batches.
Evaluation Approach
- Aroma family filter: Not assigned
- Smell separately: Record each oil’s native aroma before blending
- Blend impact: Compare how one, two and three-oil combinations change the final scent
- Quality control: Do not use oils with unexpected rancid or degraded odour
Formulation & Usage
The kit is designed for simple controlled trials so the contribution of each oil remains understandable.
Beginner Method
- Start with one oil:Observe colour, odour, spread, absorption and finish
- Build simple blends:Combine two or three oils in labelled small batches
Applications
Suitable for learning and prototyping simple anhydrous skincare bases.
Recommended Uses
- Carrier comparison: Compare lightness, richness, glide and after-feel
- Facial-oil prototypes: Create small test blends suited to the intended sensory profile
- Balms: Use selected oils within a complete stable balm formula
- Oil-based experiments: Change one ingredient at a time to learn its contribution
- Formulation notebook: Document ratios so successful blends can be reproduced
Safety
Each oil has its own safety, stability and allergy considerations.
- For external formulation use:Do not ingest; avoid eyes and damaged skin
- Hygiene:Use clean, dry tools and prevent cross-contamination
- Storage:Keep tightly closed away from heat and direct light
