Gosh! I’ve been searching like mad for a spray with poly 80, and everyone uses crazy amount of it. You are amazing! You explained everything so well, thank you so much!
Now I understand why the way I've been doing it smells "off" after it sits in the bottle a couple of weeks. I was make room spray with mostly distilled water, only 20% alcohol, the fragrance and nothing else. It makes sense I need an emulsifier and preservative, thanks for sharing! Off to Amazon to order those.
Thank you. This is a great room spray. It is worth noting that if you want a spray for pillows or clothing, the Witch-Hazel recipe is safer for the skin. Keep it in a low light spot & shake it.
Nice to see that someone has given this some thought in terms of making a room spray and avoiding the cloudy mess you can get with some of the simple approaches. Well done Torera. Just one note of caution and that is not to use this for contact with the skin as recent research shows that Polysorbate 20 or 80 has worrying links to colon cancer and a whole set of deeply worrying allergic reactions. As a room spray there should be fine especially given the very small amount used. To think this used (and probably still is) as a food additive or in vaccines really makes you think.
Omg thank you so much. I have been looking for the right room spray. I saw more than 30 vids here. But yours is 100% the best. Sending love & light from Germany ....god bless you always 🥰❤🦋
Thank you so much for your video and time the that you put out to give this wonderful recipe. I really enjoy your video simple and straight to the point. Moreover, with the right ingredients to make your room spray at home. Not to mention that what you share in the video is also a formula to sell the room spray. Either way you helping us out to enjoy a product made at home a less cost than stores and with the ingredients that you concisely decide to have in your house. Thank you again and God bless you in your business.
I cannot find the answer to this question I have anywhere. Hopefully you can give me an answer. In all diy recipes for soap or sprays, there is water in the ingredients. However as soon as water is added, the product becomes not shelf stable. Why can’t we use witch hazel or alcohol and essential oils alone as a room spray (or even add vegetable glycerin ), but just without water? What its the reason for the water instead of a more shelf stable liquid? . And if i mix only witch hazel and essential oils can’t that be used as a room spray and avoid the preservatives all together since both are pretty shelf stable on their own?
Hi,did you ever get an answer for this,going through this right now,same question??? In a 2 ounce bottle I did 1/3 witch hazel 1/3 91 % alcohol and the last 3rd was poly 80 and fragrance.No water no preservative?
I was wondering, since it includes oil, will it leave greasy stains on things? Also, can I use fragrance oils I use for my soy candles instead essential oils?
Hello beautiful, I just found your video thank you very much for this informative video it is very helpful, but I can't use vodka and it's not allowed in my city , is it okay to skip it?
Oh my gosh THANK YOU for this! Subscribed 😊 I have been learning how to formulate properly over the last few years (with the hope of one day - years down the road - starting my own skincare business) and was having a moment today - same as you - one of those, I may scream if I see one more “knowledgeable” TH-camr with hundreds of thousands of subscribers telling people that you don’t need a preservative because essential oils are self-preserving??!! Or witch hazel is the preservative 😬 Or they’ll say, put in a few drops of vitamin e if you’re worried. 🙄 And if anyone in the comments section tries to very politely correct the misinformation, they get crucified by other viewers. I can’t take it any longer! I am all about cutting down on chemicals (I switched to green skincare and home products a decade ago) but the more I learn, the more I feel that all-natural - at least, all-natural without a strong scientific background and access to laboratory testing - can be very dangerous and that “natural adjacent” is probably the best route for most home formulators, ie using some safer chemicals when the risks of NOT using them is greater than the risk of long-term exposure to that chemical. I’ll take the very slight possibility that something like Optiphen or liquid Germall plus or an emulsifier may build up negatively in my body over a lifetime than a good chance of getting a nasty fungal or bacterial infection from using unpreserved water-based products. I have a lung disease already and so the risks of breathing in spores (that you can’t always see with the naked eye and so may not realize it’s happening) is huge for me - for all of us. So, thank you for doing your part to spread real formulating knowledge 🙏🏻
@@keoshagaines3765 hi Keosha. Unfortunately, no. I say “unfortunately” because that’s the kind of alcohol most non-formulators have lying around the house but that is a totally different type of alcohol designed for medical use and not the perfuming industry, ie not designed for inhalation. If it’s 70% or higher - which all the isopropyl alcohol I’ve seen is - it should solubolize the oils into water but it may or may not perform the second intended function which is preservation (it may but it’s not a “for sure” and the average person isn’t investing in at home lab testing kits to monitor the safety of their products). But even if you were using your spray up within a few days and weren’t worried about an extended shelf-life, the most noticeable reason why you shouldn’t use isopropyl alcohol is - it stinks. It won’t evaporate quickly like proper perfumers alcohol which is really designed to “stay in the background” so you’ll smell more like a hospital than the lovely essential oil blend you spent all that time crafting 😂 It’s also very harsh on your lungs and nasal passageway to breathe it in (and very harsh on the skin so you definitely don’t want to make a body spray with it, either). Hope that helps. Perfumer’s alcohol is fairly easy to order online and not terribly expensive. If you’re in the US or Canada, let me know and I can post a few links. You can also use Everclear alcohol / grain alcohol which is more readily available and probably even cheaper - you can buy it at most liquor stores, I believe - but I’ve never used it so I can’t advise beyond that.

Same here @haleemarh I even mentioned her as one of my biggest motivations for starting my channel in my welcome video which I posted yesterday and it really was! Her enthusiasm is top notch! Video quality 🆙 Content 🆙 You are the bomb @terora
My dear the name of that liquid you could not pronounce I try to find it on Amazon I cannot pronounce it myself so is there a substitute instead of using that one Preserve?.
Make sure to use poly 20, not poly 80. Poly 20 is for water based products like lotions, body splash, face mist, linen spray to help mix in fragrance oil. Poly 80 is for oil based items like emulsified sugar scrubs, bath bombs, bath melts, body polish. Or a fo/eo modifier can be used to keep the product clear, poly 20 will make the product cloudy. Liquid colorant can help hide this.
Hello, which to use for a fragrance oil? I bought 2 bottles of concentrated scented room fragrance and want to divide it up and make several bottles...
Hey Veronika, it’s been listed in the description. Can I suggest that you make your point without being rude? We all receive criticism a little better when it’s said politely. ❤️
@veronika klaic... Karen... can’t you just go figure it out on your own or find another suitable video for your liking? Clearly she has something you’re interested in or you wouldn’t have gotten butt hurt about HER video that’s she’s provided to us for FREE on HER platform. Entitlement is at an all time high I see
Hey guys, hope you are keeping well? I truly hope everyone is ok?
💖
Can you post the link for your bottles please ☺️ x

All right so the preservatives that I have is EUXYLPE 9010
Can I do the same grams with this preservative I already have it
Can you use witch hazel in place of alcohol? And what about fragrance oil?
Hello great video, can we use rubbing alcohol?
And my dear what are your thoughts on the witch hazel
I was wondering, since it includes oil, will it leave greasy stains on things?
Also, can I use fragrance oils I use for my soy candles instead essential oils?
Hi is this recipe vegan friendly, also how do you list your ingredients ie clp label. Thank you
hahaha I love the beginning. Love your tutorial thank youuu
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I really enjoyed and subscribed! Can't wait to try out more from u.
the measurements you gave above is for what size bottle?
All the grams you mentioned is it equal to a mil. For example 30g of alcohol is it the same as 30ml? Help me out with that thank you..
Do you think bicarbonate of soda and water and oils is a good mix?
Hello beautiful, I just found your video thank you very much for this informative video it is very helpful, but I can't use vodka and it's not allowed in my city , is it okay to skip it?
😊 I like the beginning 😁
Awesome video❗️ question: why is it important that the alcohol be grain vodka
Oh my gosh THANK YOU for this! Subscribed 😊

lol this comment made me laugh and good luck on the skincare business!
bknightify 😆 I know, right?! So many false prophets out here in the DIY beauty world!
@@persephonespomegranate could I use rubbing alcohol instead of a spirit? And I have germaben already for a preservative. Would that be ok?

Is it ok to not use an alcohol at all? Or is the formula way better with one?
I havent even gotten into the video yet but had to comment because GIRL the green looks so good on you!!
Thank u 😎💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
You're so beautiful and I just love you vibe. Subscribed!!
Gosh I appreciate you so much
Yes! It makes me cringe when I see people thinking oil and water mix. Good video!
loved this
Lovely video
Can you use a clear spray bottle please?
I love your video SO much than another video that was recommended to me. I''m definitely subbing to your channel now.
That means a lot to me! Thank you
How much essential oil to use
Good video, TFS.
Since the product will be cloudy would it be a good idea to take advantage of that by adding glitter
Not sure about that 🖤
I don't know why i have been saying your name everytime
Yes to a video on how to make your home smell naturally
Awww, I hope for good things?
Will add that video to my list🥰
😁😁😁😁 It just keep popping in my head and i keep saying it

You are the bomb @terora
Great video! Thank you! Can you post a link for the preservatative you used in the room spray. Thank you!
Btw...subscribed! Can't wait to see more.
Sorry this is late but I have updated it with all the links 🥰❤️
Hi! Can I just use a water soluble essential oil + water and thats pretty much it?
A water soluble essential oil? Please educate me, never heard of them
@@ToreraGeorge it's those oil solution that come in larger bottles that you add to water base air purifier or humidifier. they dissolve in water...
I like it,I love oils,can you write the ingredients please?
Done! 😍💕
This is AWESOME thank you! Can fragrance oils be used?
Can you make car diffuser for us thank you
I love your video.. 🤩
Can you use another clear spirit instead of vodka? I don’t have vodka on hand
You need grain alcohol 🥰❤️
Oh my God!!! I am so happy I found you!!!! Thank you!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
So happy you are here! Welcome, welcome
My dear the name of that liquid you could not pronounce I try to find it on Amazon I cannot pronounce it myself so is there a substitute instead of using that one Preserve?.
You do not need an emulsifier if you’re using polysorbate, they serve the same purpose.
Okay, polysorbate is the emulsifier in this case. Sorry if I didn’t understand your statement
That is the only emulsifier she used.
Hello, thank you for the video. Can citric acid be used as the preservative?
Can you use fragrance oils instead of essential oil?
Yes.
Hi Torera, please while in Nigeria where did you get supplies for your DIY from? Can you recommend someone?
I honestly cannot think of anyone but if I do, i’ll update this thread
Thank you.🤗
Is the spray bottle plastic or glass..
How much oil dud you put in
Where did you get your supplies from
It’s in the description ✨✨
Thank you so much for posting this video and the links! I was up to my eyeballs in witch hazel videos before I found this XD
Why wodka? Can I use 96% alcohol instead?
What's the difference of recipe with and without alcohol?
Water and oil needs the alcohol in order to emulsify.
You're so beautiful may god bless
Love you ❤❤❤❤

Hello, which to use for a fragrance oil? I bought 2 bottles of concentrated scented room fragrance and want to divide it up and make several bottles...
Can witch hazel be used to substitute the vodka?
I was thinking this would work. Did you try?
I'm seeing alot of people using it. I didn't try it, I ended up using grain alcohol which I love.
Yes.
Hi love your video can I just ask how many drops of essential oils do you use? Xx
Hey Sarah, I used roughly 4g. Different essential oils have different weights.
You radiate
Not to be creepy, but you're like super pretty!!!
You’re too cute ... thanks for everything 🤗
And I see a lot of people making room spray with baking soda and absolutely no preservative what is that all about
Thank you for this. Those witch hazel recipes are terrible.
Me who has none of these ingredients: 🗿
Crap I wish I found your video first I added witch hazel lol
Did it work out ok though?
Witch hazel is alcohol infused with witch hazel. You're fine
You are beautiful
Why can’t you just discuss the ingredients and the process without all the blah blah and none of it’s listed except in the video 👎👎
