• 21 g (37.5%) demineralized water
• 21 g (37.5%) Damascus rose hydrosol
• 4 g (7.1%) vegetable glycerin
• 9.5 g (17%) aloe gel
• 0.5 g (0.9%) grapefruit seed extract

Tools

• 1 small stainless steel bowl
• 1 mini silicone spatula

• 1 funnel
• 1 blue glass bottle with mister (60 ml) or 2 plastic bottles with sprayers (30 ml)

Good to know!

• Damascus rose hydrosol is perfect for sensitive, mature, tired, or dull skin. It is absolutely possible to choose a different hydrosol, if Damascus rose is not best suited to your skin type and its needs. Check out our article to learn how to choose the right hydrosol for you.
• The water can be replaced by an equal part of hydrosol. Alternatively, you can also use only demineralized water.
• The glycerin helps hold your make-up in place.
• The aloe vera hydrates your skin.
• This natural DIY setting spray helps to set your make-up but also provides hydrating and toning care.

Steps to follow

1. Prepare and disinfect your equipment and workspace.
2. Weigh the water and the hydrosol in a bowl. Using a pipette, add the glycerin. Mix together.
3. Add the aloe gel and mix until homogeneous.
4. Using a pipette, add the grapefruit seed extract. Mix again.
5. With the help of the funnel, pour the mixture into the spray bottle. Your homemade make-up setting spray is done!

Use and conservation

After applying make-up, evenly mist your setting spray over your face and allow to dry. Take care not to mist too much product or to mist it too close to your face. Indeed, either risks moistening your skin and causing your make-up to run…Which is exactly what we’re hoping to avoid!

You can also use this product as a toner in the morning before continuing with your usual beauty routine.

Made in optimal sanitary conditions, this DIY setting spray will keep for 3 months if kept refrigerated.
