Using Reed Diffuser Base for Pillow and Blanket Spray

Yes, you can use a Reed Diffuser Base to make a spray for pillows and blankets. Based on the description of Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1), it is designed to dissolve fragrances and help the aroma spread without leaving stains. It is also described as not containing harmful chemicals, DPG, PG, or alcohol, and can be touched on the skin, making it suitable for this application.

Type 1 vs Type 2

The difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Reed Diffuser Base lies primarily in their effect on the fragrance's scent strength:

• Type 1: Has a weaker inherent scent, which is better for use with fragrances (like essential oils) that have a light or easily disturbed aroma. It is also slightly more expensive.
• Type 2: Is cheaper and suitable for fragrances with a strong and clear scent.

For general use with Essential Oils, Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1) might be a better choice, especially if you are using essential oils with lighter scents, as it is less likely to interfere with their aroma.

Mixing with Essential Oils

Reed Diffuser Base can be mixed with Essential Oils. The recommended application rate is approximately 70-75% base with 25-30% fragrance. The description notes that if you find the fragrance and base separating, you can first mix the fragrance with Ethyl Alcohol before adding it to the base. However, the base itself is alcohol-free.
