Hello. Can I use this cream during the day with or without make-up? Also, is it ok to use under the eyes?

If you store it in dark glass bottle in dark place is not gone be contaminated don’t use in plastic containers and warm place remember oils can turn in fire sometimes I keep them in refrigerator is nice to have a massage in warm weather with something cold or just warm it up a bit in put it in a small cup inside of other pot with water and warm it for 10 min if you have a oil warmer much better some people prefers a warm massage oil when you apply to your skin

You can add inside of the lotion as many different essential oils you like you can add neroli mirrh frankíciense and much more the point is one spoon of base oil and 15 drops of essential oil for each you can make a big galón and use it as much as you like it depends how many essential oils you like to put inside double the ingrediente

I’ve got a natural face cream containing sweet orange oil (I don’t know if this is essential oil or not) and I’m wondering if the warning about staying out of direct sunlight for 12 hours after using on the skin applies to lotions, creams, balms etc which contain citrus essential oils. I burn really easily so want to take all precautions if this is the case.

With these ingredients, this lotion will last for months as long as it doesn’t sit in overheated rooms.

It should work fine but don’t apply near the face or chest. Test on a small area on leg or arm to make sure the baby doesn’t have a skin reaction.

You can use a small wooden stick (like a chopstick) to stir once a week. Also, consider storing in the refridgerator.
