Formulation view Base of sweet almond oil blended with light oils like linseed and macadamia, plus rosehip for moisture. Squalane improves texture; radish extract aids conditioning. Rich fragrance and essential oils, including citrus, require light protection. Factory view: multi-source plant oils oxidize easily, requiring careful antioxidant balancing.
