  • spray formula won’t disperse nicely

    Posted by teyodora on December 25, 2019 at 5:31 pm

    So I’m trying to dupe this spray formula and when i tried it in the spray bottle it doesn’t disperse nicely, it kinda just gets out in one beam and not mist how i want it. I tried 2 different spray bottles and it’s the same problem. When I tried just water both bottles made nice mist.

    Anyone has any idea what could be the problem?

    Here’s LOI:
    Water, Aloe Vera Juice, Lavander Hydrosol, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol SA, Lemongrass Essential Oil, Coco Glucoside, Sunflower Oil, Vitamin B5, Xanthan Gum

    Yes, viscosity that is too high for a sprayer bottle causes the issue. Remove any gums and anything thickening.

    Just what I thought, thanks for your quick answer! I’ll remove gum, not sure why they use it in original formula. As far as I know gums are only there to thicken
