mizbizzyb Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 What are they? I read about them and it appears they are a bad thing...I guess I have been fortunate not get any or order from suppliers that have them....But just out of curiousity...what are they? :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 They are debris in your FO. Kinda like pieces of leaves floating in a swimming pool. Could be a number of things. Suppliers say it's the raw materials used.I've gotten a floatie or two in my day. I no longer carry those scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You are supposed to flush floaties, not put them in wax and pour them. I've never had floaties in my wax but my reaction would be the same to them that I have when I lift the lid and notice that someone did not flush a floatie.

smart tart Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Defnition of Floaties (in JS Calming Waters FO) from the supplier: calming is very heavy and almost 100% pure. there are over 8 essential oils in this product. what you are seeing is natural raw materials. the sediment will not disappear as it is the natural raw materials you see floating. I have a bottle I use for my own personal use that the bottom is solid brown/black. sometimes it is very green. Now if you would like to see this up close and personal, VE would be more than happy (LOL) to make that happen - huh VE?!!! :tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 The only floaties you may occasionaly see in FO's is during cold months the FO may crystalize and you can see the crystals. If you put it in pan with warm water they will dissolve back into the FO......amber and some vanillas are notorious for this during the winter. Anything other than that is pure hogwash from the supplier!!! I have never seen TRUE EO's leave any debris in any of the hundreds of FO's and straight EO's I've used and tested in the past years.
