Recipe: Soothing Clear Lavender Linen Spray
Create a simple, relaxing linen and room spray that remains perfectly clear, thanks to the water-soluble nature of the fragrance.
Ingredients:
-
97.5 g Distilled Water or Lavender Hydrosol
-
1.5 g Water-Soluble Lavender Fragrance Oil
-
1.0 g Preservative (e.g., Liquid Germall Plus or Optiphen)
Instructions for Preparation:
Combine the Base: Measure the distilled water (or hydrosol) into a clean, sanitized beaker.
Add the Fragrance: Add the Water-Soluble Lavender Fragrance Oil directly to the water. Stir gently but thoroughly until the fragrance is fully dispersed and the liquid is completely clear.
Add the Preservative: Add the preservative and stir slowly for a few minutes to ensure it is fully mixed into the solution.
Test and Package: Pour the finished spray into a clear spray bottle. Test the spray on a piece of cloth to ensure the scent strength is perfect and that no staining or oil residue is visible.
Recommendations for use:
-
Clarity: The key benefit here is that the fragrance will not cause the final spray to look cloudy, which is vital for clear mists.
-
Usage: Spray lightly over bed linens, towels, or into the air to create a calming atmosphere before bedtime.
-
Storage: As the formula contains water, the preservative is mandatory for safety. Store the finished spray away from direct sunlight.
