Safety Concern Regarding Pillow Mist Formulation

I understand your concern about the safety of your Pillow Mist formulation, specifically the 17% concentration of essential oils.

Regarding the safety of your formula:

I cannot provide a definitive safety assessment for your specific formula. Safety depends on many factors, including:

• The specific essential oils used (each has its own safety guidelines).
• Their individual maximum safe usage rates.
• Potential interactions between the oils.
• The intended use (e.g., direct skin contact vs. misting onto fabric).

However, regarding the 17% essential oil concentration:

A total essential oil concentration of 17% is generally considered quite high compared to typical recommendations for many applications, including room sprays or linen sprays, where concentrations are often much lower (e.g., 1-5%). High concentrations of essential oils can potentially cause irritation, sensitization, or other adverse reactions, especially with repeated exposure or if the mist settles on skin.

Recommendations:

1. Research the safety guidelines for each specific essential oil you plan to use. Look for maximum dermal limits and inhalation considerations from reputable sources (e.g., Tisserand Institute, essential oil suppliers with safety data sheets).
2. Consider reducing the total essential oil concentration to a level more commonly recommended for this type of product (e.g., in the 1-5% range), especially if the mist could potentially be inhaled or come into contact with skin.
3. Perform patch testing if the product is intended for use where it might contact skin.

I can try to search for information about "Flora Fix" if you'd like to know more about that ingredient.
