Creating Custom Body Spray With Fragrance Oils

Making your own body spray is an easy way to create a unique, personalised scent. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a body spray with your favourite fragrance oils. You can use a base of fractionated coconut oil, which is lightweight and thin enough to spray out of a bottle. You can then add your chosen fragrance oils and mix them together thoroughly.

Mixing essential oils with fragrance oils

Firstly, you will need to gather your supplies. For the base of your spray, you can use fractionated coconut oil, which is lightweight and thin enough to spray easily from a bottle. You can also add a skin-beneficial oil such as evening primrose extract, or any other oil-soluble extract of your choice. Next, you will need to select your fragrance oils. You can use a single fragrance oil or a combination of oils to create a unique scent.

Once you have your ingredients, it's time to start mixing. In a small container, add your base oil(s) and fragrance oil(s). Use a spoon to thoroughly mix the ingredients together. Be sure to measure your ingredients carefully and combine them in the correct ratios to ensure your spray is well-balanced.

After mixing, carefully pour your body spray into a mini spray bottle and screw the cap on tightly. Be sure to label your bottle clearly, listing all ingredients for safety purposes. It is also recommended to do a patch test before your first use to ensure the spray is suitable for your skin.

With these simple steps, you can create a customised body spray that combines the benefits of essential oils and fragrance oils.

Using coconut oil as a base

Coconut oil is a great base for body spray as it's lightweight and thin enough to spray out of mini spray bottles.

To make a body spray with coconut oil as a base, you'll need a small container, a spoon, and a mini spray bottle. Add the fractionated coconut oil and evening primrose extract to the small container. Then add your chosen fragrance oils and use a spoon to thoroughly mix the ingredients together. Carefully pour the mixture into the mini spray bottles and screw the cap on tightly.

You can use any skin-safe fragrance oils you like, and you can also add other ingredients such as glycerin, Castile soap, and witch hazel. If you're using witch hazel, add it to the spray bottle first, followed by the other ingredients, and stir well. Make sure no oil floats to the top; if it does, add a little more Castile soap a drop at a time until the oils stop floating.

Always label the bottle clearly, listing all ingredients for safety purposes. Do a 24-48 hour patch test before your first use.

Adding skin-safe fragrance oils

To make a body spray, you will need a small container, a spoon, and a mini spray bottle. First, add your base oil, such as fractionated coconut oil, to the small container. Then, add your chosen fragrance oil(s) and use a spoon to thoroughly mix the ingredients together. You can add other ingredients, such as evening primrose extract, glycerin, or witch hazel, to enhance the benefits of your body spray. Once you are happy with your mixture, carefully pour it into your mini spray bottle and screw the cap on tightly.

It is important to label your bottle clearly, listing all ingredients for safety purposes. Before using your new body spray, it is recommended to do a 24-48 hour patch test to ensure that the mixture is safe for your skin.

Using vegetable glycerin as an emulsifier

Mixing fragrance oils for body spray is a simple process. You can use a combination of fractionated coconut oil, evening primrose extract, and fragrance oils. However, if you want to use an emulsifier, you can add vegetable glycerin to the mix.

Vegetable glycerin is an emulsifier, which means it helps the essential oils mix with the water. To make a body spray with vegetable glycerin, you will need a spray bottle, vegetable glycerin, witch hazel, water, and your choice of essential oils.

First, put the vegetable glycerin, witch hazel, and water in the spray bottle. Add your chosen essential oils, and shake well to mix. Shake again before each use. You can spritz the body spray onto your wrists, chest, neck, or anywhere else you want a light scent.

It is important to note that you should always do a patch test before using any new product, especially if you have sensitive skin. Mix a small amount of the body spray and apply it to a small area of skin, such as your inner arm, and wait 24-48 hours to ensure that you do not have any adverse reactions.

Adding witch hazel

To make a body spray with fragrance oils, you'll need to add a base oil, such as fractionated coconut oil, and a skin-safe extract like evening primrose. You can then add your chosen fragrance oils and mix the ingredients together thoroughly.

When adding witch hazel, you can follow a similar process. Measure out your ingredients, including the witch hazel, fragrance oil, glycerin, and castile soap. Combine these ingredients and mix them thoroughly. If any oil floats to the top, add a little more castile soap a drop at a time until the oil stops floating.

The vegetable glycerin in the mixture acts as an emulsifier, helping the fragrance oils mix with the witch hazel and other ingredients. Once everything is combined, carefully pour your body spray into a spray bottle and screw the cap on tightly.

It's important to label the bottle clearly, listing all the ingredients for safety purposes. Before using your new body spray, it's recommended to do a 24-48 hour patch test to ensure there are no adverse reactions.

With these simple steps, you can create a customised body spray with your favourite fragrance oils and the added benefits of witch hazel.
