DonnaPatrick Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I need help, once again, making body sprays with Cyclomethicone & FCO. I've taken a few months off from the B&B thing, for personal/family reasons. But, I'm starting again & need help, already!! I'm making one ounce sized Cyclo sprays. Same problem, as way back when: I have no problem making large sizes, but have someone who wants EIGHT one-ounce body sprays in EIGHT different scents.(& some are blends!). Since it's 8 different sprays, I'm not making a larger batch & pouring them into smaller bottles. I'm only making one ounce at a time. Can anyone help me out? How much Cyclo? How much FCO? How much FO(can be in ounces, "drops")Thank you very much!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galatea Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi! I can help you.If you're making a body spray, the maximum fragrance load on any body-safe product should be 20%.You can use less, if you want it lighter, but you should never go over 20%. That assumes you're using a professional, undiluted fragrance oil. So...if you've got a one-oz spray, that means you use 4-parts base, and 1-part fragrance. Let's break it down to grams, it's easier. There are roughly 28 grams to an oz. 28 divided by 5 (total parts) equals 5.6 grams. I would use 5 grams fragrance to 23 grams base. Does that help?

ChandlerJane Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 That's far too much fragrance oil. Even eau de parfums don't normally have that high a concentration of fragrance oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
