Making a Spray with Essential Oil and Flora Solve Clear
Here are the answers to your questions regarding making a spray with water, essential oil, and Flora Solve Clear:
Ratio of Essential Oil and Flora Solve Clear in 100ml Water:
For a general scented spray using 100ml of water, you can start with 1-2% essential oil, which is 1-2ml. The ratio of Flora Solve Clear to essential oil should be 2-5 parts Flora Solve Clear to 1 part essential oil. So, if you use 1ml of essential oil, you would use 2-5ml of Flora Solve Clear. If you use 2ml of essential oil, you would use 4-10ml of Flora Solve Clear. Using a high concentration of essential oil might require a large amount of Flora Solve Clear, which could make the mixture too thick to spray. If you need a higher concentration of fragrance, consider using a different base like a light oil such as Fractionated Coconut Oil or Alcohol.Mixture Becoming Waxy When Exposed to Water:
Yes, it is normal for the mixture of essential oil and Flora Solve Clear to become waxy or gel-like if you add water to it. The correct method is to first mix the essential oil and Flora Solve Clear thoroughly, and then add this mixture to the water. When added to water, it might appear as small gel pieces initially, but these should dissolve into the water with gentle stirring or shaking.Shaking After Mixing and Skin Application:
Yes, you should stir or blend the essential oil and Flora Solve Clear together first, then add this mixture to the water and stir or shake gently until it is fully dissolved and clear. This type of spray, when formulated correctly, can be used on the skin.Storage Duration and Refrigeration:
To extend the shelf life of your spray, you should add a preservative. A gentle option like Phenoxyethanol SA can be used at a concentration of 1%. The spray does not need to be stored in the refrigerator, but it should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat, as these can degrade the quality of the essential oil.
Remember to always mix the Flora Solve Clear and essential oil together before adding the mixture to the water.
