Summer Ciao – Aromatic Body Spray
Fresh summer spray with lemon eucalyptus, lavender and geranium
Summer Ciao is a lightweight aromatic body spray with a fresh, green and citrus-herbal scent profile.
Dermofeel G 10 LW 70 helps disperse the small essential-oil phase into the water-based formula. Your current product page recommends it at approximately 2–4% or 3–5 times the weight of the lipophilic phase, with a recommended finished-product pH of 3.7–4.9.
I would remove eucalyptus globulus and peppermint from the original recipe to make the leave-on spray milder. Your eucalyptus globulus page specifically advises against use in children under 10.
