Liquid Car Air Freshener Formulation

To create a liquid car air freshener, you will typically need a fragrance oil and a base or solvent to dilute it. Here are a couple of common approaches using ingredients like Dipropylene glycol (DPG), Ethyl Alcohol, MMB, or a solubilizer like Flora Solve™ Clear with water.

Option 1: Using a Solvent Base (DPG, Alcohol, or MMB)

This is a simple and common method. Solvents like Dipropylene glycol (DPG), Ethyl Alcohol, or MMB help dissolve the fragrance oil and can also act as a fixative to help the scent last longer.

Ingredients:

• Fragrance Oil (e.g., the type you linked)
• Dipropylene glycol (DPG), Ethyl Alcohol (Perfumer Grade), or MMB

Ratio:

• Fragrance Oil: 10-30%
• Solvent (DPG, Alcohol, or MMB): 70-90%

Instructions:

1. Measure the desired amount of solvent (DPG, Ethyl Alcohol, or MMB) into a container.
2. Add the fragrance oil to the solvent.
3. Stir or gently shake the mixture until the fragrance oil is completely dissolved and the liquid is clear.
4. Pour the mixture into your car air freshener bottle or diffuser.

Option 2: Using a Solubilizer with Water

If you prefer a water-based formula without alcohol, you can use a solubilizer like Flora Solve™ Clear.

Ingredients:

• Fragrance Oil
• Flora Solve™ Clear (Fragrance Solubilizer)
• Water

Ratio:

• Fragrance Oil: X%
• Flora Solve™ Clear: 2X to 5X% (start with 2X and increase if needed to achieve clarity)
• Water: Balance to 100%

Instructions:

1. In a separate container, mix the Fragrance Oil with Flora Solve™ Clear. Stir or blend well until the fragrance oil is fully solubilized (the mixture should be clear or slightly hazy depending on the oil).
2. Slowly add the water to the solubilizer/fragrance oil mixture while stirring continuously until the entire solution is clear.
3. Pour the mixture into your car air freshener bottle or diffuser.

Choose the method that best suits your desired product properties and available ingredients. Always test a small batch first.
