Handcrafted CoQ10 Lotion
Constructed as a face and body lotion, this handcrafted formula combines aloe vera leaf juice, hemp seed oil, coconut oil, CoQ10, tamanu and rosehip seed oils, and vitamin E.
The lotion contains CoQ10, which is commonly used to support aging skin and minimize signs of photoaging. Vitamin E is often used to protect lipid-rich skin and seal in hydration. In many products, aloe vera is used to support hydration. Hemp seed oil and glycerin are also commonly used to support hydration. Rosehip seed oil and sea buckthorn also act to soften dry skin and support the skin barrier. Lavender also helps calm and soothe irritated skin. White willow bark extract and rosemary are also commonly used to clarify blemish-prone skin and pores. Xanthan gum and cetearyl alcohol also act to control thickness and stabilize the formula.
Skin care engages touch at each step of a routine, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift surface oils, debris, and bacteria from the skin (Aiello & Larson, 2002). Moisturizing products such as creams, lotions, and balms add emollients that soften the skin surface and help hold in hydration. Serums, masks, and treatments are applied to specific areas of the face, and the pressure of application adds to the sensation. Applying any of these products activates C‑tactile afferents, the nerve fibers that process pleasant touch (Löken et al., 2009; McGlone et al., 2014). Slow, massage‑like pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010; Field, 2015), and warmth and absorption add to the sensation as the product meets the skin.
Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.

Pairing Note
Aroma: Topical interaction paired with aroma becomes aromatic‑surface experience. Cultures combine botanicals with oils, creams, and hair treatments because aroma carries symbolic meaning, lineage, and spatial identity (Classen, Howes & Synnott, 1994). These practices persist because aromatic pairing strengthens emotional recall (Herz, 2016) and supports cultural continuity (Assmann, 2011).
