Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 Marcelle, are you talking about Everclear, the alcohol? Would a 91% alcohol work? I didn't think you could sell an item with alcohol in it. (sorry if I'm assuming too much) just curious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 Don't know the ruling on that. I checked the labels on all the body splashes in a local shop. All had alcohol at the top of the list. Most were denatured alcohol. Someone else is going to have to rule on this question, though. I am not the expert. My next question is: What is everyone else using in their body splashes if not alcohol?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Splashes, or Eau Fraiche are comprised of 1 to 3 per-cent fragrance oil. This would roughly translate to about 5-15 drops fragrance or essential oils per ounce of base. Here is a recipe: Splash/Eau Fraiche 2 oz. grain or denatured alcohol 2 oz. distilled water 1 tsp. glycerine (acts as a fixative for the scent) 50 drops fragrance/essential oil blend Dissolve the oils in the alcohol first, then add the water very gradually to avoid clouding the mixture. If the mixture clouds anyway, let it stand for several hours and if still cloudy, add very gradually more denatured alcohol until it clears. Citrusy and light floral scents work best for these mixtures. Hope this helps! Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Denatured alcohol is not the same thing as Everclear, Vodka or Rum. It has been most people's understanding on this list and others, that selling toiletry or soap products made with Everclear, Vodka, Rum or any other liquor is illegal. lynn in valencia lavender bluffs bath and body " A little touch of heaven in your bath " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 How does that work out for you? (the witch hazel that is) I'm interested in trying that as well as the alcohol. ttfn, Peggy JUSTSURFING11899@... wrote: > > In a message dated 4/4/01 4:10:40 PM Pacific Daylight Time, > whisperingpinessoapfactory@... writes: > > << What is everyone else using in their body > splashes if not alcohol? >> > I sometimes use witch hazel. > E > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Witch hazel is basically an extract, a witch hazel leaf tincutre, meade from alcohol, leaf matter and water... Essentially the same thing.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Hi Peggy: The witch hazel is fine for splashes, but is too weak to emulsify perfume oils by itself. You can make " steeped " colognes using witch hazel and dried fragrant herbs. I will forward some recipes in a moment... Cat > How does that work out for you?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Super, I can hardly wait to see them. I love the body sprays for after bath, but the alcohol is usually too harsh on my sensitive skin so when you said witch hazel I thought that might be the answer! thanks Peggy Cat wrote: > > Hi Peggy: > The witch hazel is fine for splashes, but is too weak to emulsify perfume > oils by itself.
