Ingredients for Preparation

For a 10ml roll-on you will need:

Recommended packaging

Brown glass roll-on bottle with metal ball

Instructions

Weigh out the cranberry oil in a clean bowl.
Add calendula oil and gently mix the blend.
Gradually add lavender essential oil and eucalyptus menthol essential oil.
Mix thoroughly again to blend all ingredients well.
Finally, add vitamin E and mix once more.
Transfer the finished serum to the roll-on bottle using a funnel.
Close the roll-on and shake briefly before first use.

How to Use the Roll-on

Apply a small amount directly to the bite. Thanks to the ball applicator, the serum goes on cleanly and precisely, without unnecessary finger spreading. Repeat application during the day as needed.

Do not use on open wounds, near eyes, or on irritated skin that reacts sensitively to essential oils. For children, pregnant women, and very sensitive skin, test the blend in a small amount first.

Function of Each Ingredient

Cranberry oil makes a light caring base for the serum. It softens skin, helps prevent dryness, and is ideal for small topical formulas.

Calendula oil is a traditional soothing ingredient. It adds gentleness and supports skin that's irritated after a bite.

Lavender essential oil provides an herbal scent and a calming character. Lavender is widely used in DIY cosmetics for its soothing and caring properties.

Eucalyptus menthol essential oil brings a fresh, slightly cooling feel. In the roll-on, it creates a sense of relief where it itches or burns.

Vitamin E supports the stability of the oil blend and helps prevent the oils from going rancid. Only a small amount is needed, but it does an important job.

Roll-on is a practical packaging for precise application. The serum is easy to carry in a handbag, backpack or travel kit.
