🔥 How to Prepare
- In a clean bowl, whisk aloe gel, glycerin, and yogurt/cream base until smooth.
- Sift in sandalwood powder and colloidal oatmeal; mix to a creamy paste.
- Stir in chamomile extract. If too thick, add 1–2 tsp rose water to your preferred texture.
- Let the mixture sit 2–3 minutes so powders hydrate fully.
🌸 How to Use
- Apply a generous layer to clean, slightly damp skin (face/neck).
- Leave on 10–12 minutes. Do not let it crack completely—mist with water if needed.
- Rinse with lukewarm water; pat dry. Follow with a simple moisturizer.
- Use 2–3× weekly, or as a quick 5-minute “calm reset.”
🧭 How You Can Use This Recipe
- For Personal Use: Make a gentle rescue mask for redness-prone or post-sun skin.
- For R&D/Formulation: Iterate on texture (creamier vs. gel), swap oatmeal level for sensitivity, or add 2% niacinamide for tone.
- For Small Business: Start with micro-batches; position as a “Sensitive Skin Soothing Mask.” Keep fragrance minimal.
- For Gifting: Pack in a glass jar with a mini spatula and simple use card.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Best made fresh. If batching, refrigerate and use within 5–7 days. Always use a clean spatula to scoop.
💡 Pro Tips
- Too thick? Thin with a teaspoon of rose water. Too fluid? Add a pinch more oatmeal.
- Extra-dry skin: mix in a few drops of squalane when applying.
- Keep essential oils out (or extremely low) for sensitive skin.
🌿 Why This Works
Sandalwood is known for its cooling, comfort-first profile; Chamomile brings soothing flavonoids; Colloidal oatmeal helps support the moisture barrier, while aloe hydrates on contact for a calm, soft finish.
