Course Lesson: Aromatic Spritzers

Aromatherapy spritzers are versatile preparations shaped by intention, dilution, and solubility. This class offers a clear introduction to defining and formulating spritzers, choosing appropriate base ingredients, and understanding how essential oils behave in water‑based systems. A step‑by‑step demonstration is included, along with practical blending ideas and a simple functional spray as a bonus.

A Short Introduction to the Class

Aromatherapy spritzers are simple, versatile preparations, and this class offers a detailed look at how intention, dilution, and solubility shape their use. Through a 60‑minute video lesson supported by slide visuals, we explore how essential oils behave in water‑based systems, how to choose appropriate base ingredients, and what ethanol and solubilizers contribute to the process.
Concepts such as turbidity, solubility, and hydrogen bonding are explained in accessible terms, with visuals to support different learning styles. The class also includes thoughts on preservatives, blending considerations, and practical approaches to making spritzers for a range of purposes.
Topics Covered:

  • Defining aromatherapy spritzers (mists, atomizers, sprays)
  • How intention shapes application
  • Dilution rates and best practices
  • Base ingredients, including ethanol and solubilizers
  • Chemistry: solubility, turbidity, and hydrogen bonding
  • Considerations around preservatives
  • Essential oil blending ideas
  • Practical tips throughout
  • Bonus demonstration: making a simple toilet bowl spray

You’ll have access to the video and a supplemental presentation summarizing key points, along with a step‑by‑step guide for creating your own aromatherapy spritzers.
