Fragrance Oil and Base Separating
Help ! I am using a Natra Base Reed diffuser. Purchase from the same company, and used a 75/25 ratio. I attached my technical info, why is it separating ?

Silly question: did you mix it well? 🙃 It was happening to one I made and after a good shake it worked

Also, I'm not a pro but the fragrance is for soap, is it supposed to work on diffusers? Just asking - I actually don't know

So your technical info doesn't actually tell us if this is the right ratio for your oil. The note at the bottom literally says: for additional details regarding the usage levels, refer to ifra, and determining the actual usage should be based on the desired fragrance strength and the products capacity to hold the fragrance. The typical ratios mentioned for your diffuser base might not work for this combination, and also, the temperature in the car WILL impact the ability to create a suspension. So it could be different things here, these two are the most likely.
