Stephanie Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I've read through all the room spray threads about Cyclo & FO and haven't seen anyone mention that it would need a preservative. Does that mean it doesn't need one? Also, I read somewhere that you can't deliver Cyclo by Air. Is that true, and has it been a problem to send ground?

Michi Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I don't believe it needs a preservative b/c there is no water incorporated in with the cyclo.As far as shipping it, I've never heard that it can't be sent via air, but I know that there is NO problem sending it UPS ground, otherwise suppliers wouldn't be selling it.

Stephanie Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Thanks Michi! That's sort of what I thought I just needed someone to confirm for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 With just cyclo and FO, no perservative is needed. I'm not sure about shipping I haven't heard it can't be sent by air either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I believe there is some information regarding it not being transported by air on MMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 MMS says that theirs can ship by air.CyclomethiconeINCI: Cyclomethicone OR Cyclopentasiloxane MMS continues to work hard for our customers and cyclomethicone is the perfect example. There are a ton of cyclomethicone varieties available and MMS has chosen one, specifically cyclopentasiloxane, as the variety that will best suit our cutomers. Cyclopentasiloxane has a higher flash point so you can ship your room sprays or perfumes on an airplane without worry. Other vendors sell a cyclomethicone that can't even ship to you via airplane! Be wary, your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. For your reference the flash point is 170°F. Cyclopentasiloxane is the perfect balance between volatility (quick drying) and spreadability. We think it is great for hair treatments, bath oils, creams and lotions, room/linen sprays, and more. Cyclopentasiloxane adds a soft, talc-like feel and is the base for superb dry perfume oils. INCI labeling allows for the use of either name so please use the name most suited to your product and customer base. This cyclomethicone is also known as Cyclomethicone NF. Enjoy!

Freezin Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yep, I know that some can't....know because some vendors won't ship to Alaska for this reason. Anyway, I did note that MMS had one that could be and is certainly has intrigued me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
