UPDATE: For another alcohol free option that stays clear, try out Cyclomethicone. I just used it today & it gave me a crystal clear result. Use 90% Cyclomethicone and 10% Fragrance of choice. Link is down below. www.elementsbathandbody.com/Cyclomethicone.html
This is so helpful, thank you!! What are you thoughts on making an an alcohol free insect repellant? I am thinking to use the 90% cyclomethicone? Would this be skin safe? For FO, I am going to use the WW Co. Citronella + Camphor AND/OR Muddled Mint + Citron.
I tried the 90% cycolmthicone and 10 % fragrance. I love how it absorbs fragrance, but the problem is it sprays oily. My sister tried it and it stained her cotton sheet..
I scouted youtube to find your video, lol. Im screaming THANK YOU!!! I'm a small business owner who up until now only sold candles. In late 2023, a small cleaning business reached out to me & forced me to step out of my comfort zone when they asked me to make room sprays. After sifting through many videos I found yours and have gotten nothing short of amazing feedback with the samples I presented to my now business partners. We signed our contract last month and production begins this week for the sprays. Your recipe is amazing and I love the fact you're not using distilled water or a spray base. I truly want to give you your flowers. Thank you, thank you, thank you 💜 I'm now growing my business with confidence and still maintaining quality.
Hi~ I know Im late lol but I reverse engineered the recipe and thought ya'll might want it. So technically since the outcome is 4.235 oz and you can set the recipe to about 3.20 oz to get around 3.5 oz. However, you may want more accuracy especially if you intend to do larger quantities of this recipe. Here is the true ratio for those that want it (roughly, minus the longer line of numbers in the percent): 0.826% glycerine 57.851% alcohol 8.264% FO 16.528% poly 80 16.528% witch hazel (99.997% total) So if you want to make it actually 3.5 oz, you will need: 0.028 oz glycerine 2.024 oz alcohol 0.289 oz FO 0.578 oz poly 80 0.578 oz witch hazel Hope this helps~
You’re not late. Thank you so much. I was like “wait…the math is not mathing” 😂 But I think if you’re making large batches it becomes less of an issue because whatever you end up having in excess could always end up being your tester bottle. So following those ratios as given works. Especially since the fragrance oil is meant to be adjustable. Also…for anyone who wants to do this in grams….1 fluid oz is about 23.3 grams of ethanol.
@Nicole Johnson according to the cdc the percentage of alcohol needed to disinfect is 60% so maybe just add 2.2% more to make it up to 60% at least. I spotted that too and I think i'll do it at 60% instead if 57.851% and adjust the witchhazel to accomodate it. I'm also going to use less fragrance as most my suppliers recommend no more than 5% for body use. Check safe usage rates from your supplier. good luck x
I liked and subscribed! Anything to help you all out. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I needed basic base of ratios and how to put it together on the scale. You all were clear, precise and straight to the point. No chasers. Thank you for all of your help. I just needed info to start with. Thank you. I can't say it enough. Thank you. Thank you.
I mix equal parts FO & Poly 80 with no separation. I don’t use glycerin for room spray it’s not needed. I use it for my body sprays. Enjoyed your video.
So sweet, Jessica! Thanks for sharing. Would you mind doing a step by step tutorial on how you create your labels and logo designs. It would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Jessica, Im a newbie here and i cannot tell you how much ive learned from all your videos...im a huge fan...since i live across the globe its really hard sourcing all the right materials from the states but your videos and advice helps narrow things down immensely....just a question would you rather use the Cyclomethicone formula or the other recipe?? im using the WWC fragrance oils would love to know which ones would work best ... thanks once again and i cant wait to see your future videos:)
Thanks for making this video and providing guidance on making room sprays. However I have a question. In your video, you said to use 10% fragrance oil, double this (20%) for polysobate 80, 70% for perfumer's alcohol. This makes it 100% already. Then you add 20% Witch hazel, which makes the total 120%. Shouldn't it all total 100%?
When using only 7% fragrance, everything adds up to 100 %. Just adjust by reducing 1 to 3% the alcool if you want to add more than 7% fragrance. I hope it helps.
thank you so much for this lovely video!! would it also make sense that over time the yellow hue dissipates some? realizing it depends on the FO that is used, my mixture is becoming less and less yellow over the last two weeks. please let me know your thoughts, thank you!
This looks amazing thank you for posting I can't wait to make this. I want to make it a room and linen spray. Should I remove the vegetable glycerin, so it won' t be any oil if my customers spray this on their linens?
Hi! I was wondering when adding dried flowers to the room spray, what flowers will keep their color? I added flowers for aesthetics, however they all turn white or discolor the spray...any thoughts?
Im currently testing out using her exact measuremts except the glycerin. I used some dried rose buds i have. Im day 3 into letting this rest for 7 days. The rose buds have turned a pale blush pink color but the liquid itself is still clear.
@@Rebecca-xw6sz if u like i can email you a pic of it. Its still holding up well. I haven't made anymore since then due to budget i havent had a chance to order and test anymore.
Thank you very much for the video. Does it matter what kind of container I use to store the mixture after it’s done so the smell of the alcohol can dissipate. Thank you
now the trick for me will be how to double, triple this to make 12-24 bottles... btw this came out beautifully i ordered one spray bottle to try this out followed as instructed except for the glycerin so far it looks good smells great in 7 days i will see what i get. thanks
@@krystalpagan6091 honestly there was nothing wrong with it. The spray is still clear the fragrance is holding up great. I put dried rose buds in it which turned into a blush pink color which actually looks quite pretty in the bottle, nothing is floating around in the bottle. I didnt add the vegetable glycerin so im really only using it as a room and linen spray.
Thank you for the nice tutorial. I have read some reciepes include vodka or soda, what do you think about that? beside than your last comment about that soda is not good for the skin.
Quick question: Which flowers were you able to use that did not fade in your bottle over time? Also, have you begun formulating with Augeo Clean Multi just yet?
Can you use germall liquid plus as a preservative instead? Also I’ve tried adding flowers to sprays before and they end up brown after a while. Does this happen with your formula too?
Love this video. It inspired me to make my own body mist. However, I have a question, Poly 80 has a vague oily smell. Is this normal and if it is, how do I rid of it?
When you said let it sit for 7 days to let the alcohol dissipate, did you mean uncovered? I bottled right away and let it sit on the shelf and burped the bottles a few times. Now my lids I’m finding are cracking as they are not metal. Can you clarify please about the seven day?
I think she had her own supplier. She was selling them but haven't been active lately. You can try Sixteen Seventeen candle supply. I think they have some similar.
Question, I just read that room spray must stay within VOC guidelines. Does this mixed meet the code? I’m don’t know how to figure it out correctly. I plan to sell my room sprays! Thank you so much.
Hey there, awesome content and very informative! Do you have any other substitutes for Perfumer Alcohol? It's quite hard to find it here in my country.
Amazing DIY! When I got the notification of your video I got excited, YAY! Will you have those spray bottle for sell on your site? If so I would like to purchase them. Thank you again for amazing video as always.
What was the website that you said to check the essential oils to see if they’re skin safe? I couldn’t understand what you said bc the audio was muffled and you did not show a link?
I’m using the Perfume base from Perfumers Apprentice you suggested and am struggling getting clear white. I know it’s the fragrance oil. Do you know of any additives to make a clear clear?
thanks for that - absolutely loved the very clear tutorial. Im a complete newbie t this - and have been told ( maybe wrongly ) that as Alcohol is classed as a hazardous substance , it has to have an inde0endant assessment d9ne for each product if you are to sell it - but if you use a pre manufaved use, then yocturu only need the clp label for the fragrance oil. ) can you please advise..many thanks..Terry
Can you tell me please does this receipe preserve the botanicals? Also, can you please tell me a good place to buy good botanicals to put in this mix? Thank you.
These botanicals are all purchased on Amazon, they are dried already so no extra steps needed. I think my Amazon store is in the description box, I have a whole list of the botanicals I use
Hi Jessica! Love your product knowledge. I'm having a had time finding the right scale with oz? The link in the your page didn't come come with just 000. Do you have any suggestion on a scale?
Oh! I forgot to put them in the description box lol IFRA data sheets can be found wherever you purchased your oils from, but the essential oil usage rates can be found at www.eocalc.com
Hi! Are you talking about the IFRA with essential oils? If so check out this video I made and skip to 2 minutes in, I go over it in more detail in this video. If you have more questions let me know! th-cam.com/video/xobLROhHJmo/w-d-xo.html
Does any of your products you put in your hand sanitizer have benzene? It’s supposedly cancerous and a lot of hand sanitizers are being recalled because of it. Just wanted to ask?
UPDATE: For another alcohol free option that stays clear, try out Cyclomethicone. I just used it today & it gave me a crystal clear result. Use 90% Cyclomethicone and 10% Fragrance of choice. Link is down below.
www.elementsbathandbody.com/Cyclomethicone.html
Is 10% based off IFRA that you used
This is so helpful, thank you!! What are you thoughts on making an an alcohol free insect repellant? I am thinking to use the 90% cyclomethicone? Would this be skin safe? For FO, I am going to use the WW Co. Citronella + Camphor AND/OR Muddled Mint + Citron.
I tried the 90% cycolmthicone and 10 % fragrance. I love how it absorbs fragrance, but the problem is it sprays oily. My sister tried it and it stained her cotton sheet..
What does the Cyclomethicone replace? The alcohol the, water or the polysorbate?
So just this plus the fragrance? Not the poly80, vegetable glycerin, witch hazel etc?

@@HawthornCompany Thanks in advance Jessica! Looking forward to it. You’re beyond awesome! ☺️
Thank youso much! Also your voice is very soothing. I could definitely listen to you do ASMR, audiobooks or a guided meditation. 💗
I understand the questions about the percentages adding up to over 100% but I’m gonna follow this anyway 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic video! Do you have advice on making a reed diffuser (natural way or mostly natural) that are effective in diffusing the essential oils.
Jessica!! You are heaven sent!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :)
Aww! Thank you for watching ♥️
@@HawthornCompany Hello Jessica, thanks for video. Where can I buy the perfume bottles on your video or do you sell. Thanks again
Can I ask where you got the sprayer bottles from? Thank you
The formula total is more than 100%.
I love woodwick, now makesy.
What a great video.
May I ask where you got your beautiful spray bottles? That’s one of my favorite styles.
Love, love and love this video!!!! The quality is great! Voice is great!! Make this recipe look so easy!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
great explanations...the best probably yet. was looking for something that uses baking soda.
Thank you so much! Could you write for us the web where we can see the info about essential oils, please! :)

No need for preservative because
Bacteria, yeasts, and molds do not grow in an ethanol concentration of approximately 15-20% or greater
Love those bottles! where did do you get them? if you don’t mind me asking?
Very nice. Where did you buy the flowers?
Thanks for making this video and providing guidance on making room sprays. However I have a question. In your video, you said to use 10% fragrance oil, double this (20%) for polysobate 80, 70% for perfumer's alcohol. This makes it 100% already. Then you add 20% Witch hazel, which makes the total 120%. Shouldn't it all total 100%?
Hi Temitope did you every find an answer for this?
It's very confusing. Also if swapping the alcohol for witchhazel at 90% and fo at 10% then there is no room left for poly 80 or anything else.
When using only 7% fragrance, everything adds up to 100 %.
Just adjust by reducing 1 to 3% the alcool if you want to add more than 7% fragrance.
I hope it helps.
@@Queenpol fragance settles with time, I wouldnt reduce the fragance oil
@@javierareymont What would you reduce to get 100%, witch hazel?
thank you so much for this lovely video!! would it also make sense that over time the yellow hue dissipates some? realizing it depends on the FO that is used, my mixture is becoming less and less yellow over the last two weeks. please let me know your thoughts, thank you!

Nice!! Are those dried flowers?
Have you tried making simply a base without the added fragrance? If so can you share percentages please
Quick question: Which flowers were you able to use that did not fade in your bottle over time? Also, have you begun formulating with Augeo Clean Multi just yet?
My dried flowers faded... it's because of the alcohol. Maybe there's a certain flower to use
Great video, but if it is ok, i wish that you write percentages below..
Can you use germall liquid plus as a preservative instead? Also I’ve tried adding flowers to sprays before and they end up brown after a while. Does this happen with your formula too?
Why did mine turn to gel as soon as I added the witch hazel? I followed everything 😢

How would this formula work if I’m using a base that includes both the alcohol and witch hazel and I will also be adding water??

These botanicals are all purchased on Amazon, they are dried already so no extra steps needed. I think my Amazon store is in the description box, I have a whole list of the botanicals I use
If I’m adding baking soda, at which stage would I add it? I added it last and it sits at the bottom.
Can i use this on my humidifier?

Thank you for this insightful video. Could you please also suggest, if it would be good to use an alcohol based witch hazel or a non alcoholic one?
Either one will work or water ♥️
Can I use the fragrance oils I use for my soy candles? I don't want my spray to be skin safe, just making them for my room.
