• 80 g Rose hydrosol
• 15 g Aloe vera juice
• 4 g Witch hazel (alcohol-free)
• 0.5 g Vegetable glycerin
• 0.5 g Geogard ECT
• Optional: 2 drops Lavender essential oil (diluted, optional for scent)

• Digital scale
• Beaker or heat-safe glass measuring cup
• Funnel
• Spray bottle (amber glass or clear with mist top)
• Stirring rod or spoon

1. Sanitize all tools and workspace thoroughly.
2. Measure rose hydrosol, aloe vera juice, and witch hazel into a clean beaker.
3. Add vegetable glycerin and stir to combine.
4. Check the pH of your formulation using pH strips or a pH meter. Geogard ECT performs best between pH 4.0 – 6.0 (ideal ≈ 4.5 – 5.5). If pH is above 6.0, lower it drop by drop with a 10% citric acid solution. If pH is below 4.0, raise it gradually with a 10% sodium bicarbonate solution.
5. Stir and retest until the pH is within range.
6. Ensure the mixture is at room temperature (below 45 °C / 113 °F), then add preservative according to recommended usage. Stir gently.
7. If using lavender essential oil, dilute first in glycerin or solubilizer before adding. Stir well.
8. Funnel mixture into a sanitized spray bottle.
9. Label and date your formulation.
