Clear Unscented Economy Aroma Beads
Aroma Beads are small clear plastic poly beads that absorb up to 30% of their weight in fragrance oil. This fragrance can last up to six months, depending on the fragrance oil used, making it an easy alternative to candles. They can be placed in a glass vase, potpourri dish or other decorative container. These beads can also be cooked in a cookie cutter to make car air fresheners! Mix different colors for a nice design feature!
This product is slightly more variable than our premium aroma beads but it still makes a very nice freshie and/or sachet! The shape, size, clarity, absorption rates, and cooking temps. can be slightly more variable from lot to lot. We call this a "wider spec" aroma bead. We buy odd lots of aroma bead polymer and sell under this listing and pass along some of the savings to our customers! The product will be variable from lot to lot.
If using for scented beads, common formulas recommend 1 lb of beads to 1 to 1.5 fl oz of fragrance oils, depending on the fragrance chosen. It is best to start small on the fragrance and add it gradually or it may not absorb. To mix the fragrance and beads, place the beads and fragrance in a sealed glass container and shake. It may take anywhere from 24 hrs to 7 days for the oil to be completely absorbed. Shake every few hours for the full absorption of the fragrance. They can be left clear or liquid candle dye can be added with the fragrance if you wish for the beads to be colored!
