🌿 What It Does
This water-light spray blends purifying Neem and Tulsi with crisp Lemongrass for a quick air reset. Hydrosols keep the aroma soft and natural; a touch of alcohol speeds dry-down for a fresh, just-aired feel.
🧴 Ingredients (100 ml / 3.4 fl oz)
- Lemongrass hydrosol (or distilled water) — 80 ml
- Ethanol (optional, quick-dry & preservation) — 15–20 ml
- Neem extract (water/ethanol soluble) — 2 ml
- Tulsi (holy basil) extract (water/ethanol soluble) — 2 ml
- Lemongrass essential oil (optional scent accent) — 8–12 drops total
- Solubilizer (e.g., Polysorbate-20 or natural solubilizer) — per supplier ratio for EO load

🔥 How to Prepare
- Sanitize the beaker, funnel, spatula, and 100 ml spray bottle; allow to dry completely.
- In a small cup, premix the lemongrass essential oil (if using) with the solubilizer per supplier ratio; stir until clear/uniform.
- In a beaker, combine lemongrass hydrosol/water with ethanol. Stir gently.
- Add Neem extract and Tulsi extract; mix until fully dispersed.
- Whisk in the EO + solubilizer concentrate. Check clarity; slight haze is normal with some natural solubilizers.
- Funnel into the spray bottle, cap, and roll gently to blend. Let rest 1–2 hours to de-bubble.
🌸 How to Use
- Shake gently. Mist into the air, onto curtains, upholstery, or linens from 20–30 cm away.
- Use 3–5 sprays per room, up to 2–3× daily or as needed. Ensure normal ventilation.
- Patch-test delicate fabrics in an inconspicuous spot first.
🧭 How You Can Use This Recipe
- For Personal Use: Keep a bottle in living areas, entryway, and car for a quick natural refresh.
- For R&D / Formulation: Explore hydrosol swaps (Vetiver, Eucalyptus), tweak EO level, or build citrus-herbal blends (lemongrass + lime) at low dosage.
- For Small Business: Offer as “Botanical Air Purifier Spray — Neem + Tulsi + Lemongrass.” Use amber fine-mist bottles and minimal, gender-neutral labels.
- For Gifting: Bundle with a cotton pouch and a “home refresh ritual” card.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Store capped, away from heat/sun. With 15–20% ethanol and good hygiene, use within ~3 months. If making alcohol-free, prepare smaller batches and use within 4–6 weeks.
💡 Pro Tips
- Prefer a softer scent? Use hydrosols only (no EO); increase Tulsi extract slightly for more herbal lift.
- Kid/pet-friendly spaces: keep EO very low or omit; spray away from faces and food areas.
- Cloudy mix? Increase solubilizer slightly or reduce EO drops; always follow supplier ratios.
🌿 Why This Works
Neem and Tulsi bring the classic Ayurvedic “clean air” profile, while Lemongrass adds a bright, green-citrus note that neutralizes stale odors. Hydrosols deliver freshness without heaviness; ethanol speeds evaporation for a crisp finish.
⚠️ Note
- For environmental use only. Do not ingest. Avoid eyes and direct inhalation.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets. Test on fabrics first.
- If sensitive to fragrance, omit essential oil and rely on hydrosols + extracts.
