1. Sanitize all tools, containers, and your spray bottle before beginning.
2. In a clean beaker, combine distilled water, aloe vera juice, and witch hazel. Stir gently to mix.
3. Add glycerin and stir until evenly incorporated.
4. In a separate small cup, blend the essential oils with a small portion of the witch hazel to help disperse.
5. Add the essential oil blend to the main mixture and stir thoroughly.
6. If available, test the pH. It should fall between 5 and 7 for optimal preservative performance. If pH is above 7.0, lower it drop by drop with a 10% citric acid solution. If pH is below 5.0, raise it gradually with a 10% sodium bicarbonate solution.
7. Stir and retest until the pH is within range.
8. Ensure the mixture is at room temperature (below 40 °C / 104 °F) before adding the preservative.
9. Add Leucidal Liquid and stir gently until fully combined.
10. Using a funnel, transfer the mist into your spray bottle.
11. Cap, shake gently, and label. Record the date of creation for freshness tracking. Your morning ritual mist is ready to use.

Mist generously over your face and body upon waking to invigorate your morning ritual. Use after cleansing as a hydrating toner or as a mid-day pick-me-up. It can also be spritzed over makeup for a natural, dewy finish or kept in your bag for on-the-go refreshment. Pair with breathwork or intention-setting for an energizing ritual that goes beyond skincare.
