Reed Diffuser Formulation Separation Issue
Question
I have a reed diffuser formula with the following ingredients:
- Ethyl Alcohol 15%
- Fragrance 15%
- Reed Diffuser Base Type 1 70%
After mixing, the fragrance and the base separated. How can I mix them so that separation does not occur?
Answer
Reed Diffuser Formulation Separation Issue
It appears you are experiencing separation in your reed diffuser mixture, which consists of Ethyl Alcohol, Fragrance, and Reed Diffuser Base Type 1.
This separation can occur when the fragrance is not fully compatible with the base. To prevent this, the recommended method is to pre-mix the Fragrance with the Ethyl Alcohol first until they are well combined. After the fragrance and alcohol are fully mixed, then add this blend to the Reed Diffuser Base Type 1 and stir gently until everything is uniformly blended.
This two-step mixing process helps to ensure that the fragrance is properly solubilized by the alcohol before being introduced to the main base, which can improve the overall stability of the final reed diffuser liquid and prevent separation.
