Hello, I have recently begun making car vent air fresheners. I order the clips in bulk from a wholesaler and they have a little pocket where a scent pad goes. I have been using fragrance oil and jojoba oil 1:2 ratio dilution, soaking the scent pad and then inserting into the pocket- but still...

I made my second batch of sugar scrubs and I can't seem to be able to get the oils to disperse properly through the product, when it sits for awhile a thin layer of oils come up to the surface. I don't know if this is normal or not but the scrubs I purchased never had a layer on top unless I had...
