Escentia Cream Base is a versatile, ready-to-use skincare foundation designed for those who enjoy creating personalised skincare formulations at home. This generous 500ml tub provides an unscented, neutral cream base that serves as the perfect canvas for blending with essential oils, carrier oils, and other active botanical ingredients.
The smooth, easily absorbed texture makes this cream base ideal for crafting custom facial moisturisers, body creams, massage blends, and therapeutic skin preparations. Whether you're an aromatherapist, beauty therapist, or simply someone who prefers to know exactly what goes onto your skin, this base gives you full control over your final product.
To use, simply measure out the desired amount of cream base and blend in your chosen essential oils or active ingredients. A general guideline is to maintain essential oil concentrations between 1% and 3% of the total volume, depending on intended use and skin sensitivity. For a 100ml portion, this translates to roughly 20 to 60 drops of essential oil. Always perform a patch test before applying new blends to larger areas of skin.
The 500ml size is particularly well-suited for practitioners, small-batch formulators, or households that regularly prepare custom skincare products. It offers excellent value compared to smaller volumes and ensures you have ample base on hand for multiple formulations.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the cream base. Once blended with essential oils, use within a reasonable timeframe for optimal freshness and efficacy.
