How to Make Glycerin and Rose Water Moisturizer

What are the Measurements for Making Glycerin and Rose Water Moisturizer?

For a basic glycerin and rose water moisturizer, you can use the following measurements:

Recipe 1 (Simple Toner/Moisturizer):
– 1/2 cup rosewater
– 1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin

Recipe 2 (Mist Formulation):
– 1/4 cup distilled water
– 1/4 cup rosewater
– 2 tablespoons vegetable glycerin

Prepare the Ingredients: Use pure rosewater (preferably a hydrosol made by distilling rose petals) and vegetable glycerin.
Mix the Ingredients: Put 1/2 cup of rosewater and 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin into a glass bottle. Shake the bottle vigorously to mix the ingredients well. Let the mixture settle before use.

Prepare the Ingredients: Use distilled water, pure rosewater, and vegetable glycerin.
Mix the Ingredients: Pour 1/4 cup of distilled water and 1/4 cup of rosewater into a mist or spray bottle. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable glycerin. Gently swirl the bottle to mix the contents.

Container Type: Use a glass bottle to avoid any chemical reactions with the ingredients. For mist formulations, a mist or spray bottle is preferred.
Shelf Life: The mixture can be stored at room temperature, but keeping it in a cool place will prolong its shelf life. Refrigeration can make the mixture extra cool and refreshing.
Preservatives: Since this is a simple, water-based mixture, it is generally safe without preservatives if used within a reasonable time frame. However, if you plan to store it for an extended period, consider using a small amount of a natural preservative like vitamin E oil or grapefruit seed extract.

Sensitive Skin: For sensitive skin, start with a smaller amount of glycerin and adjust as needed. Rosewater is generally soothing and anti-inflammatory, but glycerin can be sticky if used in excess.
Dry Skin: Add more glycerin to the mixture to enhance moisturizing properties. However, be cautious not to make it too sticky.
Oily Skin: Use less glycerin and more rosewater to avoid adding extra moisture that could exacerbate oiliness.
