Notes:
Substitutions
- Olive Squalane - I would go for a light none greasy oil such as fractionated carrier oil.
- Rosehip OiL - Argon, jojoba, and peach kernel would be suitable substitutes
- Camellia Seed Oil - Argon and evening primrose are both good choices
- Isoamyl laurate - Isoamyl cocoate is very similar, otherwise, you could substitute it with more rosehip oil.
- Coenzyme Q10 Q-MAX - Substitute with more vitamin E, calendula CO2 extract, or Bisabolol.
- Neroli and Petitgrain essential oil - Could be substituted with lavender or sweet orange.
