Today I made a version of the Green Smoothie Whipped Body Butter recipe from Soap Queen (here: https://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/green-smoothie-whipped-body-butter/) and I realized I made a mistake after I finished-- I added more fragrance than intended.
Here was my intended recipe for reference:
16 oz Avocado Butter
4.2 oz Grapeseed Oil
0.24 oz fragrance
5 tbsp Arrowroot Powder
For a batch of this size, 0.24 oz of fragrance was suggested by the Brambeberry fragrance calculator to reach a "medium" strength, but because I split the batch in half so I could do two fragrances, I added two 0.24 doses to each without thinking. It was only after, when I realized how strongly the lotions were scented (even though they smelled great), that I realized my mistake. The "strong" dose is listed at 0.36 oz, which I've gone over by 0.12 oz.
I had intended to send this as a gift if it worked out. Will this be dangerous for their skin? My skin hasn't reacted to it, but the last thing I want to do is risk hurting someone. I don't have anymore Avocado Butter to add, but I do have quite a bit of oil (coconut and grapeseed) and arrowroot powder left at my disposal. This is my first time making a lotion of any kind, so any suggestion for remedy or any tips are welcome. Thank you!
