How To Make Reed Diffuser Oil
Anyone can make their own reed diffuser oil. You need only two ingredients, both of which can be found online. It is very expensive, though. Your local dollar store might sell reed diffuser sets for under $5 but the quality of the diffuser oil…well, it stinks.
Reed diffuser oil consists of the diffuser base and a fragrance oil. Neither are cheap but if you decide to learn how to make your own reed diffuser oil, you should make enough to last for years. If you’re a homeowner or homemaker looking to save a few bucks on reed diffuser oil, making your own is probably not economically feasible.
Reed diffuser base costs around $80 per gallon. Do not use alcohol or DPG. These products will produce a low-quality diffuser oil. Most cheap diffuser oils smell like alcohol or chemicals. It’s not difficult to see that the manufacturer used cheap diffuser oil and low quality fragrance oil. There are blogs and articles online claiming you can use DPG (dipropylene glycol) to make reed diffuser oil. Don’t listen to them. DPG is just a filler used in fragrance oils. It doesn’t evaporate anywhere near as well as real diffuser base.
For every 3 ounces of reed diffuser oil base, you need 1 ounce of fragrance oil. The fragrance oil is the expensive ingredient. To make one gallon of reed diffuser oil you’ll need 96 ounces of base and 32 ounces of fragrance oil. Good quality fragrance oil costs around $40 for 16 ounces. If you buy cheap fragrance oil, you’ll end up with the same lousy quality diffuser oil found in your local dollar store.
Unlike asking advice on how to make candles, which lots of friends and family members might do, it’s doubtful you’ll find a local person who can explain how to make reed diffuser oil. Few people happen to have a gallon of reed diffuser base or 32 ounces of fragrance oil under the kitchen sink. Chances are you’ll have to find the diffuser base and fragrance oils online. On top of the cost of the products, you’ll have to pay shipping. All said and done, one gallon of scented diffuser oil will probably run about $150. No one said learning how to make your own reed diffuser oil would be cheap!
