Freezin Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I can't seem to find any info in the search feature, so I am wondering if anybody makes this. I have been working on a recipe for a bit, but I am wondering if anybody uses FO's too. All the recipes just say EO. Would love any input!

TallTayl Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Either EO or FO would work. The product contains oils with just enough surfactant/emulsifier to make the oils distribute in the bottle and still float/spread over the surface of the water of the "throne" to trap the odor.You could make something similar without water. A dropper bottle with fragrance and surfactant/emulsifier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzyK Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I had a customer message me the other day about these. I had to look up what she was asking me about but then realized I had seen the funny commercial for it. It would be fun to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 There are several different versions on Youtube. I think you could use any oil based fragrance. Watch and decide what you would like to use. HTH Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Just a heads up. You will want to label it as potpourri... not poo-pourri! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 But its not potpourri. I guess it would be a toilet bowl spray? Those commercials are so funny! One formula uses hand cream for an emulsifier with water, essential oils and coconut oil. DIY uses essential oil, water, alcohol and olive oil. The fragrance oil is going to separate without some form of emulsification. Its a simple idea but genius IMHO and the packaging is very creative. The reviews on Amazon are so funny but they all support that Poo-pourri works to suppress odors. I may give a whirl and test it out at home, lol.

puma52 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) It would be fun to make that is for sure. I would like to know what ingredient they use to make it white and it stays that way....no particles drift back to the bottom of the jar and yet it is so watery.

Even alcohol as >20% of the total blend will emulsify the fragrance and help preserve the blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is amazing what all can be created with products that we have access to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
