I am mixing fragrance oil at 40% with Reed Diffuser Base Type 1 at 60%, but the fragrance oil is separating from the base. How can I fix this issue, especially if I have limited ingredients? Are there alternative solutions?
Answer
Solution for Fragrance Oil Separation in Reed Diffuser Base Type 1
You are experiencing separation when mixing fragrance oil at 40% with Reed Diffuser Base Type 1 at 60%. This can happen with Reed Diffuser Base Type 1.
According to the product information for Reed Diffuser Base Type 1, if separation occurs between the fragrance and the base, you should mix the fragrance with Ethyl Alcohol first and then add it to the base.
An alternative solution, as suggested by staff, is to use Reed Diffuser Base Type 2 instead. Type 2 is generally cheaper if your fragrance has a strong and clear scent.
To fix the current issue with limited ingredients:
Try pre-mixing your fragrance oil with a small amount of Ethyl Alcohol before adding it to the Reed Diffuser Base Type 1. The product description doesn't specify the ratio for this pre-mixing, so you may need to experiment with a small batch.
If you have access to Reed Diffuser Base Type 2, switching to that base is another recommended solution.
