By using distilled water, you keep the aroma true to its natural essence, allowing the invigorating scents of the beach to fill your home without any interference.
Geogard ECT Preservative (optional)
Geogard ECT is an eco-friendly, broad-spectrum preservative that helps extend the shelf life of your Beach Day Essential Oil Room Spray. By incorporating Geogard ECT into your recipe, you can ensure that your refreshing spray remains effective and safe for an extended period. This optional ingredient is derived from natural sources and is designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold, providing you with peace of mind.

- Because it contains water, this recipe will go bad in 2-6 weeks. We kept it small so it could be used within its shelf life or easily remade when it expires. If you want this recipe to last longer, use Simply Earth’s Geogard ECT Preservative.
- To make a master blend of this essential oil combination, add 63 drops of Blood Orange and 12 drops each of Peppermint, Coriander, and Timber Essential Oils to a 5 mL bottle. Shake to mix.
How to Use Beach Day Room Spray
Simply shake the bottle before each use to ensure the essential oils are properly mixed with the water. To naturally refresh a room, hold the spray bottle approximately 10-12 inches away from the target area and spray a fine mist. Prioritize spraying on fabrics like curtains, linens, or the sofa, as these materials can absorb the scent and help the aroma linger longer in the air.
Enjoy the refreshing, invigorating essence of a beach day in your home.
