Embarking on a DIY beauty journey allows for personalized skincare tailored to individual needs. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. is excited to share a simple yet effective recipe for a Soothing Herbal Facial Mist, featuring the beneficial properties of Leonurus Japonicus Essential Oil. This natural, refreshing mist is perfect for calming the skin, providing hydration, and offering a moment of tranquility throughout the day.

Leonurus Japonicus Essential Oil, also known as Japanese Motherwort oil, is selected for its traditionally recognized soothing and calming effects. When incorporated into a facial mist, these properties can help to alleviate skin redness and irritation, offering a gentle touch to all skin types, especially those that are sensitive or prone to discomfort. This aligns with the benefits of using Japanese Motherwort oil for anti-inflammation.

To create this invigorating mist, you will need a few key ingredients. The base of our mist will be a combination of Witch Hazel Hydrosol (alcohol-free) for its astringent properties and Rose Hydrosol for its hydrating and toning benefits. The star ingredient, Leonurus Japonicus Essential Oil, will be added in a very small quantity for its therapeutic aroma and skin-calming effects.

Here is a simple recipe for your DIY Soothing Herbal Facial Mist:

Ingredients:

  • Witch Hazel Hydrosol (Alcohol-Free): 70 ml
  • Rose Hydrosol: 25 ml
  • Leonurus Japonicus Essential Oil: 3 drops
  • Vegetable Glycerin: 2 ml (for added hydration)
  • Polysorbate 20: 5 drops (as a solubilizer to help the oil disperse in water)

Instructions:

  1. In a clean glass bottle equipped with a fine mist sprayer, combine the Witch Hazel Hydrosol and Rose Hydrosol.
  2. In a separate small container, carefully blend the Leonurus Japonicus Essential Oil with the Polysorbate 20. Ensure the essential oil is fully dispersed in the solubilizer to prevent it from clumping.
  3. Add the essential oil and polysorbate mixture to the hydrosol blend in the main bottle.
  4. Incorporate the vegetable glycerin for an extra boost of moisture.
  5. Gently shake the bottle to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Application Recommendations:

Close your eyes and lightly mist the facial spray over your face and neck after cleansing or throughout the day to refresh and soothe the skin. Allow the mist to air dry or gently pat it into the skin. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin. Due to the potency of essential oils, use Leonurus Japonicus Essential Oil in very low concentrations in your formulations. Always dilute essential oils properly with a carrier oil or solubilizer before applying them to the skin. Store the facial mist in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.

This DIY facial mist is a wonderful way to experience the benefits of Leonurus Japonicus Essential Oil firsthand. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. provides the high-quality essential oils needed to create such natural and effective products. Enjoy your refreshing and skin-soothing creation!
