Creating a Water-Based Perfume Spray

Based on your question and the previous discussion, here's how to create a water-based perfume spray using Flora Solve™ Clear, essential/fragrance oils, and distilled water, along with answers to your other questions:

1. Mixing: Yes, you can mix your blend of essential/fragrance oils (which have been mixed with a solubilizer like Flora Solve™ Clear) into distilled water. Flora Solve™ Clear is designed specifically to help oils, such as perfumes and essential oils, dissolve clearly in water or water gels without needing alcohol.

   • How to mix with Flora Solve™ Clear: First, mix Flora Solve™ Clear with your essential or fragrance oil. A typical ratio is 2-5 parts Flora Solve™ Clear to 1 part oil. Stir or blend this mixture well. Then, add this blended liquid into your distilled water and stir until fully combined and clear. It's important to add the Flora Solve™ Clear/oil blend to the water, not the other way around, to avoid creating a thick gel.

2. Flora Fix: As mentioned previously, Flora Fix might not be strictly necessary if your primary goal isn't long-lasting scent adherence.

3. Use on Hair: Yes, the resulting water-based perfume can be used as a hair spray. Many commercial hair perfumes are formulated this way.

4. Adding Moisturizers: Yes, you can add small amounts of moisturizing ingredients to the mixture.

5. Preservative: You do need to add a preservative to your water-based mixture if it does not contain alcohol. Alcohol acts as a preservative in traditional perfumes. Since you are using a water base without alcohol, a preservative is necessary to prevent microbial growth and keep the product safe for use.

Remember that Flora Solve™ Clear has a limitation: you cannot include a very high proportion of perfume/oil because it would require a large amount of solubilizer, potentially making the spray too thick to atomize properly.
