Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 I want to make my 2 yr old grandson some monster spray. He has been getting scared at night and hope this will " help " some. Do I need a preservative for distilled water and essential oils? What would I use to make the essential oil and water stayed mixed together? Figure 95% water 5% essential oils Adjustment with ??

You'll probably need a solubilizer and a very good preservative system. Really a lot of hassle to go through. I just add the essential oils to some Everclear Alcohol, shake and spray. Because of the alcohol, your spray will be finer and you will not need as much eo. Of course, do not spray into or around open flames, avoid spraying around finished surfaces etc do not spray into eyes and all that kind of stuff that you would see on a Monster Spray that you might fined in your local stores. I would think the relaxing benefits of Lavender Oil might do well in a Monster Spray. You shouldn't have any problems using Everclear and the Monsters will take care of themselves.

I believe she started out using the same amount (weight) of Polysorbate 20 to fragrance. Mix them together before adding to the water. If they are not clear, up the amount of Polysorbate until they become clear. Pat. Peace, Joy, Serenity House of Scents tm.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Anyone on this list selling the polysorbate 20? I'd like to buy some to play, but I don't need a 55 gallon drum of the stuff. At most a gallon? Any takers? ) Gail I >>>believe she started out using the same amount (weight) of Polysorbate 20 to >>>fragrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 can't comment on the recipe, but one thing to note - everclear is not 100 proof - in rough terms, 100 proof would be 50% alcohol! I believe, but don't quote me on this, that everclear is 190 proof. Jules in Vancouver > You use only everclear and essential oils?? No Water?? > > > > BEDTIME SPRAY > 2 oz. distilled water > 2 oz.

The Everclear I have is 190 proof, but Maurice told me that in MN it is 140? I bought mine in Wisconsin. Pat. Peace, Joy, Serenity House of Scents tm.
