All ingredients in this formula are naturally derived or Ecocert approved accept for the polysorbate 80
Formula;
phase A
1% fragrance oil
1.2% euxyl k 903
phase B
2% glycerin
90.8% distilled water
Directions;
combine all ingredients in phase A and mix
combine all ingredients in phase B in a separate beaker and mix
place phase B in an over head stirrer to create a vortex
slowly add phase A into phase B
you'll notice phase B will turn cloudy when you pour in a little bit of phase A. keep mixing until phase B turns clear. once it turns clear add a little bit more of phase A
keep doing this until all of phase A is incorporated
once all of phase A is incorporated into phase B the solution may have some foaming on top. This is fine. Solubilizers are surfactants, so this is why that happens. Let it sit overnight and you will notice the foam will go away
balancing ph;
If you are using this as a room spray there is no need to balance the ph between 4.5-5.5 since you won't be spraying it on your body, but you do want to make sure the ph is below 6 since euxyl k 903 is active in formulas with a ph below 6.
Benefits/Purpose of each ingredient;
poly suga mulse D9 - used as solubilizer to blend the fragrance/essential oil into water. Oil and water do not mix, so you need an ingredients such as a solubilizer to blend the two together.
glycerin - humectant that hydrates the skin, but is specifically used in this formula to help the scent last longer
euxyl k 903 - ecocert approved preservative. active in ph levels below 6. recommended use level is between 0.4% - 1.2%
Substitutions;
substituting ingredients will change the final feel, viscosity, and overall effect of final product. percentages and formulating procedure may need to change with substitutions.
poly suga mulse D9 - tego solve 61, FSS SuperSolv, polysorbate 80, or polysorbate 20 (if you use either polysorbate the solution won't be clear
glycerin - propanedial, propylene glycol or other humectant
euxyl k 903 - any other water soluble preservative like optiphen plus, euxyl PE 9010, geogard ECT, tristate eco, etc. liquid germall plus isn't recommend fore aeresol cans, which I know this isn't an aeresol product, but it is sprayed like and aerosol. So for that reason I don't recommend it.
How to make a body mist / room spray with an essential oil
Formula;
phase A
1% essential oil
1.2% euxyl k 903
phase B
2% glycerin
85.8% distilled water
Directions; same as the last formula

How to make a body mist / room spray with polysorbate 80
Formula;
phase A
1% fragrance oil
1.2% euxyl k 903
phase B
2% glycerin
94.8% distilled water
Directions;
combine all ingredients in phase A and mix
combine all ingredients in phase B and mix
start stirring phase B to create a vortex and slowly pour phase A into phase B
Unlike the last two formulas the solution will turn cloudy and stay cloudy.
Note: Both polysorbate 80 and polysorbate 20 creates cloudy solutions. I do recommend trying to increase the percentage of the polysorbate 20 or 80 to get a clearer solution. I've read that polysorbate 80 is always cloudy, but if using polysorbate 20, you can get a clear solution by using it at a higher ratio. Instead of a 1:1 (oil to polysorbate 20) try a 1:2 or 1:3 or more until you get a clear solution. I don't have polysorbate 20, so I can't test it myself.
