How To Dry Perfume Roll-on

Here's How:

1. Using it is easy.
   You can mix it with fragrance or essential oils anywhere from about 1:3 to 1:6 ratio - depending on how strong you want it. I generally recommend about 1:5 for roll-on fragrances.
2. I got these little roll-on bottles from Bramble Berry. They hold about 10 grams of liquid each.
3. So...a 1:5 ratio of fragrance to Cyclomethicone would give you:
   • 1 gram of fragrance
   • 5 grams of Cyclomethicone
   To keep the math easy, let's figure on filling 6 bottles full. To do that, you'll need:
   • 10 grams of fragrance oil
   • 50 grams of cyclomethicone
4. Important note: Measure the cyclomethicone first and then add the fragrance or essential oil. For some reason doing it the other way makes the mixture cloudy. Measuring the cyclomethicone first and adding the fragrance to it keeps it clear.
5. Measure the cyclomethicone and then add the fragrance or essential oil. Mix it gently, and pour it into your bottles.
6. That's it! See...I told you it was easy!

Tips:

1. Cyclomethicone can stain some fabrics. Be careful of it on certain clothes or linens.
2. Make sure the skin you are applying the mixture to is clean. The cyclomethicone acts as a protective "layer" on the skin, sealing all of the good oils...but also any "bad" stuff in.
3. If you're using a particularly strong fragrance oil, use a higher ratio. If you're using a light essential oil blend - or want a strong product - use a higher one.
4. I make up a few of these and keep them around the house. I have one with just lavender essential oil in it on my desk. When I'm feeling stressed out at the computer...I just roll a little on my hand or neck. Instant aromatherapy! And they're very handy for a light-duty bug repellent blend.

What You Need:
