Making Fragrance Oil Water-Soluble for Diffusion

To make fragrance oil mix with water and diffuse its scent effectively, you need to use a solubilizer. Fragrance oils are oil-based and will not naturally disperse in water on their own.

A solubilizer helps to create a stable mixture where the oil is finely dispersed throughout the water, often resulting in a clear or translucent liquid.

Here are some suitable solubilizers:

• Flora Solve™ Clear (Fragrance Solubilizer): This product is specifically designed to combine essential oils and fragrance oils with water or water-based gels without needing alcohol. It helps create clear solutions. The typical usage ratio is 2-5 parts Flora Solve™ Clear to 1 part fragrance oil. The exact amount may vary depending on the specific fragrance oil.
• Ultra Solve™: A high-performance solubilizer capable of dissolving various oils, including fragrance oils. It acts as a water-oil binder and is typically used at 1-10% in the final formulation.
• Free Solve™ (PEG-Free Solubilizer): Another effective solubilizer that is free from PEGs. It also helps achieve clarity when dissolving oils and fragrances in water, typically used at 1-10% in the final formulation.

How to Use:

1. Select one of the recommended solubilizers.
2. In a separate container, mix your fragrance oil with the chosen solubilizer. Use the recommended ratio for the specific solubilizer (e.g., 2-5 parts solubilizer to 1 part fragrance oil for Flora Solve™ Clear). Stir or blend thoroughly until the mixture is clear or translucent.
3. Slowly add this solubilizer-fragrance oil mixture to the water you intend to use for diffusion, stirring constantly until everything is fully combined and clear.

Using a solubilizer in this way will allow your fragrance oil to disperse properly in water, allowing the scent to spread effectively.
