Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

What ingredients are commonly used to make an air freshener?

Air freshener formulas often use aromatic ingredients, a suitable base, and sometimes a solubiliser or emulsifier, depending on the format. The exact ingredients depend on whether you are making a spray, diffuser blend, or another room fragrance product.

Can I use essential oils on their own in an air freshener spray?

Not usually. Essential oils do not mix properly with water on their own, so a suitable solubiliser or correctly designed base is often needed for a more even product.

What is the difference between ingredients for a spray and a reed diffuser?

A spray usually needs ingredients that help with dispersion and a fine mist application. A reed diffuser needs a base that can travel up the reeds properly and release fragrance steadily over time.

Why is my air freshener cloudy or separating?

This often happens when the fragrance ingredients are not fully compatible with the base or when no suitable solubiliser has been used. Small test batches can help you check clarity and stability before scaling up.

Are these ingredients food grade?

No ingredient in this collection should be assumed to be food grade unless it is clearly stated for that specific product. Food safe and food grade are not the same, so these ingredients should be chosen for their intended air freshener use.
