| Spritzer | Determine use first (facial toner or body refreshing spray) to decide on number of drops needed*. | Dilute into 1t vegetable glycerine per 100ml water. | Dilution into vegetable glycerine ensures the oil solubilises in the water and doesn't sit on the surface. | Shake well before use! |
