If you are blending for home use on a small scale, add 15-20 drops of essential oils to 100ml of Aftershave Lotion base.
We recommend using up to 3% essential oils in the Aftershave Balm if you are customising; commonly, most blends will not exceed 1% essential oil. You can also add other active ingredients (see our active ingredients section) to further customise the base.
If you create professional blends, blending is best done in a mixing bowl by gradually adding and stirring your preferred combination.
You can add unlimited levels of carrier oils to the base; keep in mind the more you add, the more you will change the composition of the base.
Fragrance oils (as opposed to essential oils) can also be used in our bases, although as we only use natural essential oils, we do not sell synthetic Fragrance Oils.
Remember, shaving can be a very sensitive experience for many men and teenagers, so careful addition of the appropriate essential oils is crucial. In addition, the correct choice of essential oils can significantly increase the effectiveness of your blend.
