Hello! Instead of red vine extract you can use wild chestnut extract, which is equally beneficial in such applications.

Hello! The product in question is a simple oily conditioner with menthol, eucalyptus essential oil and thyme; the original is petrolatum based, we can use a vegetable butter. If you want to make a gel like the recipe above, the base can be water + gelling agent, essential oils and preservative.

So in order to use it as a spray I need to add solubilizing oils.

Hello Adina! You can use lavender essential oil instead of eucalyptus essential oil; it has other properties but also brings benefits in such applications.
