Supplies and Equipment Needed
Large spoon or butter knife for stirring
Rubber gloves
Digital Scale
Funnel Pitcher
2 oz PET Bottles with sprayer
Cyclomethicone
Artisan’s Perfume Base
Body safe fragrance oil
NOTES/TIPS
• Use PET containers with fine mist sprayers. Do not use bottles made with PVC because the fragrance oil will likely break down and degrade the PVC.
• You may need to adjust the percentages slightly if the fragrance oil is on the strong side.
• Measure all ingredients by weight, not volume.
Formulation:
90% Cyclomethicone
5% Artisan’s Perfume Base
5% fragrance oil
Step 1
Using the Funnel Pitcher and scale, weigh out 8 ounces of Cyclomethicone.
Step 2
Measure by weight .40 ounce of body safe Fragrance Oil and add it to the Cyclomethicone. We used Light Blue type fragrance oil in this recipe. Usage is 5% of fragrance oil to the Cyclomethicone. In this tutorial, 5% of 8 ounces is .40 ounces.
Step 3
Add 5% of the Artisan’s Perfume Base. Weigh out .40 ounce of the Artisan’s Perfume Base and add it to the Cyclomethicone. The Artisan’s Perfume Base will add a cooling effect to the spray.
Step 4
Stir slowly until fully incorporated. Cyclomethicone stays completely blended and crystal clear without the need for shaking.
Step 5
Slowly pour the product into 2-ounce Tapered PET Spray bottles. This tutorial will make four 2-ounce bottles of Dry Oil Spray.
Step 6
Mix and match fragrance oils to come up with a unique scent. Enjoy!
