Can I add this oil to my existing unscented lotions or shampoos, and what is the recommended ratio?

This aromatic oil is specifically intended to act as a perfuming addition for finished cosmetic products. It allows you to customize unscented or lightly scented creams, lotions, shower gels, and shampoos with a delicate floral profile without changing the core function of the base product. Because the 10 ml format is concentrated, a very small amount is required to achieve a fragrance effect. A general guideline for personalizing body care is to add approximately 1 to 2 drops of the lotus oil for every 10 to 15 ml of the base cosmetic. It is often best to mix the desired amount in a separate small container or in your palm just before application rather than scenting an entire bottle at once; this ensures the stability of your original product remains intact and allows you to adjust the scent intensity as needed.

When adding the oil to hair care products like shampoos or conditioners, the fragrance will evaporate in the warmth of the shower, contributing to an aromatherapy-style experience. In leave-on products like body lotions, the lotus note provides a subtle, sweet accent that lingers on the skin. Note that this oil is chosen for its fragrance effect rather than for active skin treatment or medicinal purposes. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any skin conditions. Always ensure the oil is thoroughly blended into the base product to avoid direct contact with concentrated oil. If you are using the scented product on your face, take extra care to stay away from the delicate eye area. For those with sensitive skin, it is sensible to test the newly scented mixture on a small area of skin first to ensure no fragrance sensitivity occurs.
