Learn how to make a diy solid perfume in just minutes. I love to keep mine right in my purse in case I need a perfume touch up throughout the day. Especially at work! It’s not like you can just whip out a bottle of perfume and start spraying yourself. Rather, you can just put a little bit of the solid perfume on as needed.

DIY Solid Perfume Ingredients
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil has a unique characteristics that closely resemble our skin’s sebum. Thus, it is absorbed quickly and is non greasy on your skin. It also has a long shelf life of 2 years.
Candelilla Wax
Candelilla wax is a 100% vegetable based wax. It is slightly harder than beeswax and is used to make our perfume solid. It is also used to add some slip to the product and a glossy finish on the top. Unlike beeswax that sticks on our skin, candelilla wax absorbs in.
Adding Colorant
It is completely optional if you would like to add color. I am all about making my products a little extra and prettier! So, I went ahead and added a little mica powder. Feel free to get creative with your colors!
