- Stir in cucumber hydrosol and water. Add preservative if your system requires it.

🌸 How to Use
- Hold 15–20 cm from skin and mist over arms, legs, neck, and torso. Avoid face/eyes.
- Reapply as needed after workouts, commutes, or beach days.
- For an extra chill: store in the refrigerator and mist post-sun (non-burned skin only).
🧭 How You Can Use This Recipe
- For Personal Use: Your daily “cool burst” for hot, humid days—gym bag essential.
- For R&D / Formulation: Compare hydrosol-only vs. quick-dry feel; tune glycerin 0.5–1.5% for slip; trial sodium PCA 0.5–1% for extra hydration.
- For Small Business: Position as “Cooling Body Spray — Peppermint + Cucumber.” Offer 100 ml fine-mist bottles; summer limited edition or gym-line staple.
- For Gifting: Bundle with a microfiber towel and a mini “post-workout refresh” card.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Store capped, away from heat/sun. With correct preservation and hygiene, best within 3–4 months. Shake gently before use.
💡 Pro Tips
- EO Safety: Keep peppermint EO extremely low (1–2 drops per 100 ml) or use only hydrosols for daily, all-over body use.
- Solubilizer: Always pre-solubilize EO per supplier ratio to avoid separation (alcohol format may self-solubilize, but keep dose minimal).
- Very dry skin: raise glycerin to 1.5% (alcohol-free version) for extra comfort.
- Cooling boosters: Add 0.2–0.3% bisabolol for soothing; keep total actives gentle for frequent spritzing.
🌿 Why This Works
Peppermint provides an immediate, refreshing tingle; Cucumber lends a calm, watery freshness. Humectants help skin feel hydrated while the base stays weightless and non-sticky.
⚠️ Note
- External use only. Avoid face/eyes and freshly shaved or irritated skin.
- Not for children under 6; for teens/adults use hydrosol-only if very sensitive.
- Patch-test before first use. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
