Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 I made one last year (I think the original recipe was from Cat) and it's very easy: Just add a few drops of EO/FO to vaseline. To blend it easier you can melt the vaseline. Fill it in little jars and keep it well closed.

Next time I make it, I'm going to cut the wax amount in half and work from there to get a more jelly-like consistency. NightShade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rox: If you're not adept at mixing products with water, and knowing the right preservative to use, in the correct amount, you can run into a bacteriological nightmare. I'm going to experiment this week with a great aloe vera product I've used for years. It's organic aloe vera gel from http://www.lilyofthedesert.com/pages/pages_products.asp This is in no way an endorsement for this company, NCI, of course. I just want you to see the different kinds of gel available. I buy their gelly in a squeeze tube, and only once did I have one go bad, after maybe a year. contains: 99.5% *Certified Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Carbomer 940, Vitamin A, C, and E . Carbomer 940 is a gelling agent. You can read more about it here: http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/form_carbomer_pre-gel.html I'd go the aloe vera route, myself, because so many people know it, love it, and look for it in body care products. Another thing to keep in mind, something I thought about since I first brought up the gel-based perfumes that Sephora is releasing for summer: how strong do you have to make it, it's perhaps only a seasonal item (I can't see many people wanting to slather perfume gel on their arms in December), and are you (or I) prepared to start filling Malibu tubes or other squeeze containers for the product?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Does anyone make perfume gel? If so, can I ask what gelling agent you use, and if you have any tips?
