ladysj Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 http://store.scent-works.com/buoiwa.html they have the best price I've found so far but they are out right now maybe someone else knows another place that has a good price on it also. I know that didn't help you sorry but when they do have it back in stock that's where I'll purchase from. I got mine from the last co-op they had. I am so hoping someone will have a good oil/butter co-op soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 OBN has a good price, but they are out of stock right now too.I am so hoping someone will have a good oil/butter co-op soon.There is one going on right now! Maybe we should see if they'll add FCO. Columbus Foods has a GREAT price! http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50641 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Dang I completely missed that co-op lol guess because I was looking coconut oil. Any who I asked if they would please add FCO. We'll see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 AND you can spray it on you, your linens, use it as an air freshsner.. spray it in your hair to tame frizzies, and put it in tiny little bottles to sell as a car spray.Wow, can it really be used on hair???

tarynjms Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I get my FCO from The Scent Works & from Aroma Haven. As for the whole hair thing, I personally hate it in my hair, but others use it & like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 One more question please Where is a good place to get perfumers alcohol? What is the difference between this and the cyclo for the body spray?ok ok, that was 2 questions :embarasse lolThanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Snowdrift Farm has perfumer's alcohol. The difference I like is that you dont have to deal with the alcohol smell and it's not drying like alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I was making my body/linen spray with the witch hazel recipe and just switched to cyclo and I LOVE it! I use it on everything - And yes it is wonderful on hair! My daughter has long VERY thick hair that can just be unbearable - I have often asked her to cut the darn mane! - and I have been using it on her and it is AWESOME! Can't rave enough about this stuff!So worth the cost and I think I use less because the scent lasts longer.Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Wow, can it really be used on hair??? YEP! One of the main ingredients in hair serums/frizzies tamers is cyclo! I've always sprayed perfumes/sprays whatever smelly I'm using in my hair! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkainePSP Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Well then I definately have not been using enough FO, but noone is complaining. So if I were adding the FCO I would add .5 FO, .5 FCO & 3 oz. Cyclo? I am not good at math infact I absolutely dispise it. Is the FCO like a filler in the recipe or does it have a purpose otherwise? And if I add the FCO can this still be used as a 4 in 1 product? Room, linen, hair & body spray?One common way is to round it off to: .50 oz FO and 3.5 oz. Cyclo ( I know: 1/2 an ounce of FO just for one bottle of spray!)A more specific way is:some people use less or more, but here is the standard recipe:1 part fragrance oil to 6 parts cyclomethicone.It depends on the size...whatever it is, break it down to 7 parts. Example : for a 2 ounce total weight - 2.0 divide by 7 = approx .28 per part. so you would use .28 fo and the rest is cyclo.2 oz dry oil spray - .28 oz fo4 oz dry oil spray - .57 oz fo (and: 3.43 oz Cyclo...........3.43+.57=4.0)6 oz dry oil spray- .85 oz fo8 oz dry oil spray - 1.14 oz foHope this helps!!

Robin29 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Just to check my math... You use 1oz FO to every 7oz Cyclo, so that means you need about 18oz fo to scent a full gallon of cyclo for a total of 148 oz?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FCO makes it more like a dry oil after bath spray. HTH You could always try a tiny bit on your hair with the FCO and see how it works.HTHSandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Why is water needed? I use witch hazel and FO, for me, and yes it's cloudy. I've tried the poly process, didn't work, but I was too hasty. I may try it again. I don't understand why water is used. Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
