DIY Body Mist with Essential Oil: Craft Your Signature Scent

Introducing our guide to creating your very own DIY Body Mist with Essential Oil. If you’re looking to infuse your daily routine with a touch of personalized luxury, crafting a signature scent is the perfect way to do it.

With just a few simple ingredients and some creative flair, you can concoct a delightful body mist that not only invigorates your senses but also leaves you feeling refreshed and confident throughout the day. Let’s dive in and unleash the art of crafting your very own DIY Body Mist with Essential Oil.

Ingredients Needed

• Medical alcohol 95%
• Distilled water
• Rose essential oil. In this recipe I use diluted essential oil. See the note below to learn how to prepare diluted essential oil from pure essential oil. Alternatively, you can use rose fragrance oil.
• Vegetable glycerine
• Polysorbate 80, also known as tween 80
• Water soluble color powder

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. When an essential oil is included, I use either pure or diluted essential oils. If using pure essential oils, use up to 2% by weight. For diluted essential oil, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

Tools Needed

• Small beaker
• Wooden popsicle
• Wooden toothpick
• 100-milliliter spray bottle (3.38 US fl oz)

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Steps: DIY Body Mist with Essential Oil

We will prepare 100 milliliters (3.38 US fl oz) of the body mist.

1- Start by adding 10 grams (0.35 oz) of diluted rose essential oil into a beaker. You can use any essential oil of your choice. Alternatively, you can use 10 grams (0.35 oz) of rose fragrance oil.

2- Add 10 grams (0.35 oz) of polysorbate 80.

3- With a wooden popsicle, mix well for 2 minutes.

4- Add 50 grams (1.76 oz) of medical alcohol 95%.

5- Mix the contents well.

6- Add 30 grams (1.05 0z) of distilled water. Stir as you pour slowly the water. Notice how the contents are now clearer.

7- Mix well.

8- Now, we will add the water-soluble color powder. I used rose essential oil, so I will make the color of the body mist rosy. If you chose another essential oil, use a color that goes with the scent.

With the tip of a toothpick, pick up a little color powder and mix it with the contents. If the color of the body mist is too light, add a bit more. Keep in mind that you don’t want the color of the mist too strong.

9- This color is good for a rose-scented body mist.

10- Add 1 gram (0.035 oz) of vegetable glycerine.

11- Mix thoroughly.

12- Pour the body mist into a spray bottle. If you have used the proper quantities of the ingredients, as indicated above, you will notice how clear the body mist is. It will become even clearer after it is aged, as I explain in the next step.

13- How do we age the body mist: Wrap the spray bottle in a small towel or cloth, and place it in the fridge for 3 days. Then, remove it from the fridge and store it in a cabinet for another 3 days. This is the aging period, and it allows the body mist to stabilize. This also allows the smell of the alcohol to dissipate.

14- Now, you can use your DIY Body Mist with Essential Oil. Enjoy!

How To Use: DIY Body Mist with Essential Oil

Follow these simple steps to make the most of your personalized creation:

a. Shake well: Before each use, give your body mist a good shake to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

b. Spritz on skin: Hold the bottle about 6 to 8 inches away from your body and spray a fine mist over your skin. Focus on pulse points like the wrists, neck, and behind the ears for a longer-lasting fragrance.

c. Avoid face and eyes: While the mist is safe for your skin, avoid spraying it directly on your face and eyes to prevent any irritation.

d. After-shower ritual: Incorporate your DIY body mist into your after-shower routine to lock in moisture and leave your skin delicately scented.

e. On-the-go refreshment: Carry a travel-sized bottle in your bag for quick and revitalizing touch-ups throughout the day.

f. Experiment and enjoy: Don’t be afraid to mix and match essential oils to create new scent combinations that suit your mood and preferences. The possibilities are endless!

Remember, each body mist is unique to you, so embrace the confidence and positivity that come with wearing a scent that you crafted with care. Enjoy!
