Yo, I want to tinker with my bottle of witch hazel and make up some scented batches. I'd like to know which essential oils you've tried including brands if that makes a difference, your thoughts, recipes etc.
I've ordered some menthol crystals already and some vegetable glycerin. I'm thinking of trying peppermint oil, lemon oil, lime oil, sandalwood oil as I already have some and maybe a floral one too. I want to make a minty citrus one and of course a straight up mentholated one but I'm open to all sorts. My witch hazel is 14% alcohol, will the oils emulsify or separate? Also I read people grind up alum into their witch hazel too, is this common/effective?
Interested to read your alchemical exploits.
Cheers
