🌹 Rose-Infused Jojoba Oil Kit - Instructions
🛡️ Safety & Storage
- Always patch test before use (apply a small amount to inner wrist or elbow, wait 24 hours).
- For external use only — do not ingest.
- Keep away from eyes and children.
- Use dried botanicals only (never fresh petals, as they contain water).
- Store finished oil in a cool, dark place. Best used within 6–12 months.
💧 What You'll Create
Using this kit, you'll master the ancient art of cold oil infusion to create your own luxurious botanical serum. This 3-week process extracts lipophilic (oil-loving) compounds from rose petals, including essential oils, antioxidants, and conditioning fatty acids.
Jojoba's unique wax ester structure carries these beneficial compounds deep into your skin, while vitamin E prevents oxidation for a stable, long-lasting product. You're creating liquid gold that rivals expensive department store serums using traditional techniques backed by modern science.
🌿 How it Works + Tips
Your oil infusion kit is designed to help you create a botanical skin oil that’s unique to you. By steeping dried petals in jojoba oil, you’re gently drawing out the plant’s oil-loving compounds — creating a nourishing, scented oil you can use for face, body, or DIY projects.
Be patient — infusions take time (3 weeks) but deliver a rich, natural result.
- Extra ingredients for future projects — you won’t use all your botanicals or Vitamin E at once.
- Take notes — write down your infusion dates, petal amounts, and scent results. You’ll build your own recipe library to recreate favourites.

✨ Recipe to Make 100 ml Rose Oil
- 10 g Dried Rose Petals
- 100 ml Jojoba Oil
- 1 g Vitamin E Oil
🧂 Method
Clean & Sterilise
With alcohol, wipe down your jar, spoon, and funnel before starting. Let dry completely. Clean jars and tools are essential for product safety.
1) Combine
- Place 10 g of rose petals into your clean infusion jar.
- Pour 100 ml jojoba oil over the petals, making sure they are fully submerged.
- Keep your empty pump bottle aside (place the lid back on the bottle) — this is where you’ll store your finished infusion later.
⚠️ Important: Do not wash this bottle. Introducing water into the bottle or pump mechanism can lead to bacterial growth. Simply place the lid/pump back on.
2) Infuse, Label, Store
- Label the jar with the infusion date, herb & oil used. Seal and store in a cool, dark place (like a cupboard with no sunlight).
- Gently swirl every 3–4 days.
- Infuse for 3 weeks.
3) Strain Your Infusion
- Clean and sterilise a pouring beaker.
- Place the muslin cloth over the top of the beaker (or secure with a band).
- Slowly pour the infused oil through the cloth to catch petals and particles.
- Gather the petals inside the cloth and gently squeeze to extract the remaining oil.
4) Add Vitamin E
Stir in 1 g Vitamin E oil to extend freshness.
5) Bottle & Label
- Transfer to the original bottle that your oil came in and seal with your pump.
- ⚠️ Important: You should not have washed this bottle. Introducing water can lead to bacterial growth. Simply place the lid/pump back on.
- Handwrite on the original label the herb name and extraction date.
✨ Usage
- Use as a facial or body oil: apply a few drops to damp skin and massage in.
- Blend into balms or scrubs as a nourishing base oil.
- Compost or discard used rose petals after straining.
💡 Tips & Troubleshooting
- Keep a simple recipe log so you can repeat your favourite blends.
- Weak fragrance? Next time, increase petals or extend infusion time by 1–2 weeks.
- Cloudy oil? Strain again through a coffee filter or let settle longer.
- Skin sensitivity? Discontinue use. Some people are sensitive to rose compounds.
