Simple Pillow Mist Formula for Beginners

Hello! I understand you're looking for a simple and inexpensive formula for making Pillow Mist as Christmas gifts for your friends. This formula is designed to be easy for beginners.

Key Ingredients:

  • Distilled Water: This is the main base of the formula. Using distilled water ensures purity.
  • Fragrance Solubilizer: Helps fragrance or essential oils mix well with water without separating. Flora Solve™ Clear is recommended.
  • Fragrance Oil or Essential Oil: Choose your favorite scent. For Pillow Mist, relaxing scents are perfect, such as Lavender, Chamomile, or you could use Jasmine Fragrance Oil or Lemon Chamomile. Fragrance oils are generally more affordable than essential oils.
  • Preservative: Essential for water-based formulas to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. Mild Preserved™ COS is recommended.

Basic Formula (Adjust quantities as needed, total 100%):

  • Distilled Water: Approximately 95%
  • Fragrance Oil / Essential Oil: 1-3% (You can start with 1%)
  • Fragrance Solubilizer (e.g., Flora Solve™ Clear): Use 2-5 times the amount of fragrance (If using 1% fragrance, use 3% Flora Solve™ Clear, for example).
  • Preservative (e.g., Mild Preserved™ COS): 0.75 - 1.5% (You can start with 1%)

Instructions:

  1. In a small container, mix the fragrance oil/essential oil with Flora Solve™ Clear. Stir or blend well until clear (Use the recommended amount of Flora Solve™ Clear, 2-5 times the fragrance).
  2. Measure the distilled water into your main mixing container.
  3. Slowly pour the dissolved fragrance mixture into the distilled water. Stir gently until fully combined and clear.
  4. Add Mild Preserved™ COS and stir until dissolved.
  5. Pour into your prepared spray bottles.

Additional Tips:

  • It's a good idea to make a small test batch first to adjust the scent and ingredients to your liking.
  • Choose spray bottles with a fine mist nozzle for better diffusion.
  • Add cute labels to make them perfect gifts!

Hope this formula is helpful and you can make lovely Pillow Mists for your friends!
