Because uncut fragrance oils can be harmful to skin and also because they often do not smell best undiluted, they must be cut with a skin friendly addidive. There are several different bases that can be mixed with fragrance oils to create a perfume. The most popluar bases are pefumer's alcohol, cyclomethicone, and jojoba oil. I have chosen to use jojoba oil for my After 5 Roll Ons because it is the most versatile. At Cherry City, I really strive to create mulitple use products so check out the list below to see some of the many things you can do with your After 5's besides just scent yourself.

ReplyDeleteLove the extra sparkle you've added to your blog... it rockZ!
Ummm...do you have a clue about FLASHPOINTS? It seems you don't. Adding a fragrance oil to a DRYER SHEET before putting it in a dryer? On lightbulbs? On a burning candle? ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!! I really suggest you get a little common sense and take down these irresponsible suggestions before someone's house burns down.
ReplyDeleteAll of our fragrances have flashpoints of right around 200 or more (higher than oil used in many candles and home fragrance oils) and our After 5 Roll Ons are diluted with 70-50% jojoba oil. Many of these suggestions came from an oil supplier. However, you have brought it to my attention that readers may use these tips with another company's products that may not be safe, so I have removed some.
