Which ingredients should never be added to the water basin during a pedicure service?

Aromatic oil
Disinfectant
Emollients
Flower petals

The correct answer is: Disinfectant

The addition of a disinfectant to the water basin during a pedicure service is inappropriate due to the nature of disinfectants and their intended use. Disinfectants are formulated to kill bacteria and other pathogens on surfaces and do not mix well with water intended for soaking. When a disinfectant is added to a basin of water, it can create a false sense of cleanliness since disinfectants are not meant to be used in this manner when clients are soaking their feet. Moreover, using disinfectants in the foot soak could potentially irritate the skin or cause adverse reactions. In contrast, aromatic oils, emollients, and flower petals are commonly used in foot soaks to enhance the relaxation and therapeutic experience during a pedicure. These ingredients are typically safe for use in a soaking environment and can provide beneficial effects, such as moisturizing the skin or promoting relaxation through pleasant scents. Therefore, the correct choice highlights the necessity of proper product use within a pedicure setting, ensuring both safety and effectiveness for clients.
