Anybody Make their own version of "Poo-Pourri"?


Freezin

Recommended Posts

I can't seem to find any info in the search feature, so I am wondering if anybody makes this.  I have been working on a recipe for a bit, but I am wondering if anybody uses FO's too.  All the recipes just say EO.   Would love any input!

Either EO or FO would work. The product contains oils with just enough surfactant/emulsifier to make the oils distribute in the bottle and still float/spread over the surface of the water of the "throne" to trap the odor.

You could make something similar without water. A dropper bottle with fragrance and surfactant/emulsifier

But its not potpourri. I guess it would be a toilet bowl spray? Those commercials are so funny! One formula uses hand cream for an emulsifier with water, essential oils and coconut oil. DIY uses essential oil, water, alcohol and olive oil. The fragrance oil is going to separate without some form of emulsification. Its a simple idea but genius IMHO and the packaging is very creative. The reviews on

Amazon are so funny but they all support that Poo-pourri works to suppress odors. I may give a whirl and test it out at home, lol.

It would be fun to make that is for sure. I would like to know what ingredient they use to make it white and it stays that way....no particles drift back to the bottom of the jar and yet it is so watery.

You can do the same using an emulsifier, like polysorbate-20. Even alcohol as >20% of the total blend will emulsify the fragrance and help preserve the blend.

Thank you TallTayl! It certainly is amazing what all can be created with products that we have access to. :)
