I only have experience with EOs, absolutes, concretes and natural aromatics, and they have never clouded jojoba. If you're using synthetic FOs, they are often a concoction of chemicals, maybe an extender, and that may be what's clouding it. Probably, even. Can you tell us what you used? If it was a natural aromatic, we'll have to look at the situation again. I've never heard of naturals clouding jojoba before, hence the questions.

Anya McCoy Hey guys....... this is an interesting conundrum as when I started out ..... the incis for disclosing info when marketing the 'language' that was insisted was for example parfum for perfume and (had to be) and the actual terminology for the complete was termed as 'fragrance' ...... totally daft... but there you are..... thus we are now coming into this confusion of descriptive info....... any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 -- Cloudy Jojoba oil I recently mixed fragrances in 100% jojaba oil base. It came out Cloudy (in comparision to canola oil which allows a clear result). I know I can strain it with a coffee filter but fear I will compromise the fragrance composition. Is there a dispertion solution or chemical<EEK!> that could help with this? Hello na. I use almost exclusivly Johoba oil It is what I started with & have had little or no trouble with it, I must ask you one thing ( & I'm not being picky) When you say fragrance what is your Definenition As I only only use essential oils So Anything else I would not be the best person to help you as the only " solid " experance I have in perfume making is blending jojoba with essentials, for the rest I am only just past grass roots, & would not like to lead you up the garden path. what springs to mind is that your johoba oil is cold (as johoba is a wax & not really a oil at all it will set solid & become a buttery yellow if left in the cold.) perhaps if you tried putting it in a warmer place things would change.
