grammy111106 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I'm new here and need help with body/linen sprays. I got an order from my ex-mother in law for 16 gift baskets that have sprays in them. I was told by a friend of mine to use an easy mixture of 50/50 witch hazel and distilled water and that would work fine. So, with that in mind, when I ordered my other supplies, I didn't bother ordering the spray base. Another friend of mine suggested that I check out this board so I did. I went in and searched for body sprays and wasn't impressed with what I was reading about that witch hazel/water mixture. I did see a lot of people use cyclomethicone and FCO. Is that what I should be using? I also read about adding Poly 20 to the witch hazel/water mixture. Would it be easier for me to just get that and use the witch hazel/water mixture? Where would I get Poly 20 from locally? As a matter of fact, where would I get the cyclo & FCO from as well locally in case I have to go this route? And how do both mixtures take color and f/o? I have to have these done by the end of the week to deliver to her and I'm panicing here! I thought I could just use that 50/50 mixture but now it looks like I may not be able to and whatever I am using has to be bought locally as it's too late to order more stuff. I'm panicking here! HELP!!!! Please ... anyone ... someone!I'm so confused with all this ... TIA for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Unless you are close to a supplier that carries Cyclo & FCO then you won't have a good product by the end of the week sorry :cry2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarynjms Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 You could also pay through the nose, for overnight or 2day delivery at a supplier. It will probably cost triple the price in shipping, but it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 www.bittercreek.com has the cyclo, they are also pretty fast shippers but you'll have to call your order in and pay extra.GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macyboutique Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I used to have a recipe that used witch hazel, water and fo. I think it was 6oz of distilled water, 2oz of witch hazel and fo to your smell or liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socscents Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I know this won't help you right now, but in the future you should try JS has a wonderful and easy linen spray and it absolutely does not smell like alcohol. It is the best that I have come across and is really easy to work with too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentsme Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Indiana Candle Supply has a terrific linen spray base & it is actually skin safe too. Best one I've tried so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
