Tips:
If you decide to include dry flowers into your serum bottle as I did, make sure to replace them monthly.
You can use any macerates or oils you prefer and desire. Just keep in mind that changing the base ingredients will affect the end product texture, spreadability, and scent. If you want to keep the lightness of the serum I don't recommend leaving out the squalane. You can replace other oils with other lightweight oils with a fast to medium absorption rate.
