Ethoxydiglycol (2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)ethanol) is a high-performance solvent used as a carrier base in room sprays, diffuser oils, and other fragrance applications. Known for its excellent solubility, low odor, and non-flammable nature, it offers manufacturers a safer, longer-lasting alternative to alcohol-based bases. While Ethoxydiglycol is not intended for use in body sprays or direct skin applications, it is suitable for fabric-safe room mists and air fresheners when used as directed.
Key Features:
-
Provides enhanced fragrance longevity through slow scent release
-
Compatible with a wide range of essential oils and fragrance oils
-
Low volatility for extended scent diffusion
-
Non-flammable and safer to use in home and commercial settings
-
Leaves no oily or sticky residue on surfaces or fabrics
-
Suitable for room sprays, reed diffusers, and ultrasonic diffusers
-
Cruelty-free and phthalate-free
Use Instructions for Manufacturers:
Use Ethoxydiglycol as the primary base for room sprays or diffuser oils. Add 10–15% fragrance oil, depending on IFRA limits for your specific oil. Blend gently until fully incorporated. Fill into spray bottles or diffuser containers.
Example Batch:
16 oz Ethoxydiglycol + 2 oz fragrance oil = 18 oz finished room spray (if IFRA limits allow 12.5%)
Always verify the maximum allowable concentration for each fragrance oil using its IFRA certificate. For instance, if an oil is restricted to 2.5% in room spray applications, do not exceed that amount—even if the base can hold more.
Test each fragrance for performance, clarity, and compatibility before large-scale production.
End User Directions:
Spray into the air or onto fabric surfaces from a distance of at least 12 inches. Do not spray directly onto skin or use as a body mist. Safe for general home, office, or spa environments.
