KMommy Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I have a recipe for a room spray that I make for myself which uses Vodka, Distilled Water, Glycerin, FO. I know that we can not sell products with Vodka so I was thinking of just using Denatured Alcohol instead of the Vodka. I read that there is a type of alcohol for use in products such as linen sprays and air fresheners that is called Formulator's Alcohol. I am not really sure what the difference is between it and Denatured Alcohol and if it is actually worth the price of ordering it and paying shipping vs. getting plain Denatured Alcohol locally. I find that the Denatured does leave a stronger alcohol scent when sprayed than my orginal formula so I end up using more FO. Does anyone have experience with Formulator's Alcohol? Also since my product would contain distilled water what preservative would you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapermom Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 you cannot use just any denatured alcohol, some are even toxic. formulators and perfumers alcohols are SDA's , specially denatured alcohols. they are skin safe, and others are not.

KMommy Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Thank you. This would not be for body spray, air freshener only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapermom Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Thank you. This would not be for body spray, air freshener only.gotcha.. just make sure you are using somethin relatively safe for home use..

KMommy Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Thanks again! Sounds like I would get more use from the Formulator's Alcohol and it's definitely cheaper than Cyclo. Since this would contain distilled water would I need a preservative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapermom Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 since this isnt a bath and body product , I dont think preservative is neccessary, ,ost of the recipes I have seen, don't contain any preservatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
