- Jojoba oil2 fl oz
- MCT / fractionated coconut oil1 fl oz

- Rosemary-infused oil½ fl oz
- Vitamin E¼ tsp · optional

- 4-ounce bottle with cap, pump, or treatment applicator

Step-by-Step Directions
Prepare the bottle
Use a clean, completely dry 4-ounce bottle. Water in the container can shorten the useful life of an oil-only preparation.
Add the jojoba oil
Measure 2 fl oz jojoba oil into the bottle or into a small measuring cup.
Add the lighter carrier oil
Add 1 fl oz MCT or fractionated coconut oil. This helps keep the finished blend light and easy to spread.
Add avocado oil
Add ½ fl oz avocado oil for a slightly richer feel without making the entire blend heavy.
Add rosemary-infused oil
Add ½ fl oz rosemary-infused oil and gently swirl or roll the bottle to combine.
Add optional vitamin E
If using it, add ¼ teaspoon vitamin E and mix thoroughly. Vitamin E helps slow oxidation but does not act as a preservative.
Label the bottle
Write the formula name and date on the bottle so you can track freshness and repeat the same blend later.
Scalp Treatment or Finishing Oil
As a Scalp Oil
Part the hair in sections and apply a small amount directly to the scalp. Massage gently, leave on for the amount of time that works for your hair, then shampoo as needed. Start with less oil than you think you need.
On Hair Lengths & Ends
Rub one or two drops between your palms and smooth lightly over dry ends or flyaways. Fine hair usually needs only a very small amount.

Make Your Rosemary-Infused Oil
Traditional Infusion
Use thoroughly dried rosemary and your chosen carrier oil. The infused-oil guide walks through the traditional slow method.

Protect From Heat & Light
Keep the bottle tightly closed and store it away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat. A dark bottle can provide additional light protection.
Use Fresh Oils
The useful life of the blend is limited by the freshness of the carrier oils. Discard it if the smell becomes stale or rancid or if the appearance changes unexpectedly.
