🌿 What It Does
This modern botanical serum pairs Turmeric extract with Rosehip oil to visibly brighten and support an even-looking complexion. Antioxidants help defend against daily stressors while lightweight oils replenish lipids for a soft, healthy glow.
🧴 Ingredients (30 ml / 1 fl oz)
- Rosehip Seed Oil — 22–24 ml (primary carrier; rich in pro-vitamin A & EFAs)
- Jojoba Oil — 4–6 ml (stability & skin-mimicking feel)
- Turmeric CO2 or Lipid Extract (oil-soluble) — 0.6–0.9 ml (≈ 2–3%)
- Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols) — 0.3 ml (≈ 1%)
- Optional scent: 2–4 drops of skin-safe essential oil (e.g., lavender or rose absolute in Jojoba dilution)
Note: Use oil-soluble turmeric (CO2/lipid extract). If using a potent Curcuma longa CO2, stay at 1–2% to avoid tinting; 3% for gentle, golden hue.

🔥 How to Prepare
- Sanitize a 30 ml amber dropper bottle and tools; let fully dry.
- Add Rosehip and Jojoba to the bottle using a funnel.
- Whisk in Turmeric extract until fully dispersed (avoid clumps/tint streaks).
- Add Vitamin E and optional essential oil (very low dose); cap and roll gently to blend.
- Rest for 12–24 hours so the aroma settles and the color evens out.
🌸 How to Use
- After cleansing/toner, apply 2–3 drops to slightly damp skin.
- Press into face and neck; follow with moisturizer if desired.
- Use PM daily. For daytime, layer a broad-spectrum SPF as the final step.
🧭 How You Can Use This Recipe
- For Personal Use: Make a clean, glow-boosting serum at home with minimal ingredients and a silky finish.
- For R&D/Formulation: Use this as a base and iterate on color (turmeric level), slip (carrier blend), and scent to develop a signature SKU.
- For Small Business: Start with micro-batches, gather feedback, refine packaging/labels, and scale into a branded “Radiance” line.
- For Gifting: Bottle in a frosted dropper with a simple card on use & storage.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Store tightly capped, away from heat and sunlight. Best within 6–8 months. If using an unrefined rosehip with higher PUFA content, consider refrigeration for freshness.
💡 Pro Tips
- If the color is too warm, reduce turmeric to 1–1.5% and raise jojoba slightly.
- For extra slip, swap 1–2 ml jojoba with squalane.
- Keep essential oils very low (or omit) if targeting sensitive skin.
- Patch-test before first use; discontinue if irritation occurs.
🌿 Why This Works
Turmeric is celebrated for glow and even-tone support, while Rosehip delivers essential fatty acids and pro-vitamin A to nurture barrier function. Jojoba mimics skin’s natural lipids for a soft, non-greasy feel, and Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection and formula stability.
⚠️ Note
- External use only. Avoid eye area. Do not use on broken/irritated skin.
- Some turmeric extracts can lightly tint; apply sparingly and let absorb fully before clothing.
- Consult a professional if pregnant, nursing, or under dermatological care.
