Body Sprays

[LJA]

Can someone point me in a direction for recipes and a GOOD jumping off point for making body sprays, please? My daughter uses it like it's crack.
Thanks guys...

Do you want a dry spray? An oily one? Do you want to use a preservative?

 

[LJA]

Umm...no, not anything oily, I guess. I have no real issues with preservatives. I use them. Thanks.

 

[Deda]

The easiest is way is to use cyclo 98% and FO 2%. I love it with 49% Cyclo, 49% Oil and 2 % FO.

If you want to make one alcohol based or water based you'll need a preservative and a separate emulsifier.

 

[LJA]

Awesome. Thanks, Deda! Do you have an oil recommendation?

 

[Deda]

FCO is good, so is Apricot or Sweet Almond.

Hi Deda, can you tell me what cyclo is? Tried to search google but came up with medicines :?

Is there a list of "codes" on this site?

LOL on the "uses it like crack" =P

for oils I like sunflower blended with jojoba or coconut oil. you won't want anything heavy like olive oil, methinks.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Cyclo = Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane or Cyclohexasiloxane. All types of liquid silicone.

I am with Deda that I use FCO in mine with Cyclo. I also add some IPM as well and my customers love them. Have some good labels on the bottles or test them because they can be hard on them.

Do you have any recommendations? I think I wanna go with clear....

 

[Bigmoose]

I use clear labels on my lotions. I had a body spray that leaked just a little and it was like an eraser. Totally took it off where ever it touched. These were clear labels printed on a laser printer. I have new label stock for them but have not had the chance to test them yet.

[LJA]

I got my new cyclo from BCN, and had no trouble. Worked great! Thanks for all the help! Now to find labels! :shock:
