I have just started using the cyclo. I package it in 1 ounce bottles and I

have just been putting a few drops of FO. And each FO is a bit different so

something may take just a couple of drops while other twice that much. Not sure

how that works out percentage wise.....but over all it doesn't seem like much

fragrance to me per bottle. And when you figure out how many drops...per

bottle of FO there is.... you can do A BUNCH of 1 ounce bottle.

it does make a nice spray....but it does seem to fade fast using it as a body

spray....I think it lingers much longer as a linen spray, which is nice, cause

so far I have not had any stains or temporary rings left using it on fabrics.

I have not added any preservatives since I was told the cyclo has about a 2 year

shelf life & I have been packaging in such small containers.

I too have done the jojoba in roller bottles & think the scent has better

staying power in that carrier for the skin. So am thinking of just

labeling my cyclo product as a linen spray and be done with it. I have started

my price at $3.00 a bottle as an introductory price and waiting to see how it

does....so I can go up a bit if my market seems like it will pay more.

That's about all I can tell you, I do like the cyclo so far -and it is easy, and

have had a decent response. I think it is a nice product to have and it fluffs

up the line.

Important Question--Opinions Needed! FAST! =)

Hi all,

I am curious to know who uses cyclomethicone in their mists/perfumes/body

sprays? make a spray? And also, how about using them in roll-on type perfume

oils??

Once you try cyclo you will never WANT to look back.

I use cyclo in my sprays but love jojoba oil in my roll ons. Personal

preference.

As far as expense, I price the roll ons at $9.50 & the 2 oz sprays at $4.50. One

pays for the other!! LOL There really is a difference. The gals that like the

roll ons dont mind paying more. The glass packaging looks ( & is) more expensive.

This winter I plan to blend 1/2 FCO with the cyclo for a more moisturizing

spray.

Important Question--Opinions Needed! FAST! =)

Hi all,

I am curious to know who uses cyclomethicone in their mists/perfumes/body

sprays? I've looked at the pros and cons of using cyclomethicone (or a

cyclo/IPM/dimethicone blend) vs. an emulsifier like a Polysorbate. It sure

costs a lot more to use the silicone products--plus the recipes I've seen

call for anywhere from 10% to a whopping 25 % of FO or EO....that's going to

be pricey to make! How much better do you all think the silicone additives

make a spray? And also, how about using them in roll-on type perfume oils??

I've always make a perfume oil with a carrier or either jojoba or

jojoba/factionated coconut....is it better to use a base of cyclomethicone

with FO/EO?? Every bath & body retail location seems to be touting dry oil

products...what have you all concluded, and how are you pricing your

products? Also, what about preserving a cyclomethicone based product? What

would the shelf life be without a preservative? HELP...too many questions!

Thanks in advance, and sorry to ramble!
