Dry Roll-On "Perfume" Oil - Portable Aromatherapy - or Handy Natural Mosquito Repellent

Friday May 2, 2008
Dry Roll On Perfume OilCyclomethicone is a silicone oil that is incredibly versatile in a number of bath and body recipes. But one of the easiest, and most amazing, uses of it is as a "dry" oil spray or roll-on. Looking for easy portable aromatherapy? This will do it. Are you (or a customer) so in love with a particular fragrance or essential oil blend that you/they want to wear it all day? Perfect! OR...as the weather is getting warmer and you are spending more time outside, you can make up a batch with some natural mosquito repelling essential oils and have a handy way to keep the bugs off. If you have sensitive skin, you can substitute lemon eucalyptus or lemongrass for the citronella. You'll smell great too!
