How to Use Refined Argan Oil

1. DIY Essential Oil Massage Blend

Create a personalised massage oil using argan oil as your carrier oil.

Ingredients

- 30 ml Craftiviti Refined Argan Oil

- Essential oil at an appropriate dilution

Instructions

1. Measure 30 ml of argan oil into a clean bottle.

2. Add the essential oil according to its recommended topical dilution.

3. Close the bottle and mix thoroughly.

4. Label the blend with its ingredients and preparation date.

5. Perform a patch test before applying to a larger area of skin.

For many adult leave-on body products, 1% dilution is a conservative starting point. For 30 ml of carrier oil, this is approximately 0.3 ml of essential oil. A 2% dilution is approximately 0.6 ml. These are approximate calculations; use accurate measurements and follow the supplier’s guidance, as safe concentrations vary by essential oil and intended use.

2. DIY Hair Smoothing Treatment

Use a small amount of argan oil to help condition dry hair and improve its appearance.

Instructions

1. Dispense one or two drops into your palms.

2, Rub your hands together to distribute the oil.

3. Smooth it through damp or dry hair.

4. Focus on the mid-lengths and ends.

5. Style your hair as usual.

Start with a small amount to avoid making your hair feel oily, particularly if you have fine hair.

3. Facial Oil Application

Argan oil can be used as an ingredient in facial oil formulations or applied sparingly as part of a suitable skincare routine.

Instructions

1. Cleanse your face and pat your skin dry.

2. Apply a small amount of the formulated facial oil.

3. Spread gently over the skin, avoiding the eyes.

4. Monitor your skin for any signs of irritation.

Patch-test before regular use, particularly if you have sensitive skin or are trying argan oil for the first time.
