Q: How many 1/2 cups do you get in the 5.7 oz package?
submitted by LindaH - 1 year ago
A: Because the "brand expert" refused to provide accurate information, allow me to help you out. There are 8 ounces in ONE cup. So half a cup has 4 ounces. Therefore, a 5.7 ounce oackai, which is also listed as a trial size, has 1 "serving" - the rest of the weight is probably packaging rather than product. Hope that helps.
submitted bylow sodium diet - 1 year agoA: We don't have a recommended dosage for our Scent Booster Beads, so you can add as much as you'd like to your wash. This makes it hard to determine how many doses you'll get from a container of our Downy Light Ocean Mist Scent Beads.

Q: Are these septic safe?
submitted by Cf - 5 months ago
A: Thank you for asking. All of our laundry products have been thoroughly evaluated and are safe to use in homes with septic tanks.

Q: Do they still melt if you use cold wash?
submitted by Jenna - 1 year ago
A: These Booster Beads have been tested in multiple temperatures, and we're confident you'll see them same great results when used in cold water.

Q: Hello, Is this light enough for someone with Eczema to use?
submitted by Erika - 3 years ago
A: We appreciate you reaching out, Erika. Our Downy Light Scent Boosters are designed with a lighter scent that lasts all day, but they are not perfume free. Since each individual is unique we would recommend checking the specific ingredients on SmartLable.org to understand if this product may work for you, or consulting with your dermatologist who would know your situation best.

Q: Has the formula changed for this particular scent? I bought 2 bottles and they smell very different than what I've purchased in the past. They now have a strong, cleaning/chemical smell.

Intensely floral after wash
bought the scent because my favorite (cool cotton wash) is no longer carried at Target. This scent smells nice, sandalwood and "rain" in the can but after a wash with this the strongest lingering scent is lily. And it's overwhelming. it over powers my perfume and is detectable all day... maybe if I use a bit less in the wash it could be nice but it think it's much much much too floral for the whole family.

Must have
This scent Booster is a must have! It is not overwhelming but it adds just the right touch of scent. I love how I can wash my clothes and pull them out of the closet 3 weeks later and it smells like the day I folded it and put them away just the day before. Give this a try.

Musky scent...more masculine than feminine but it will make you smell fresh!
It's okay. Somewhat of a musky scent. Definitely is NOT perfumey or floral. A half cup full scented my half load extremely well. At least I smell freshly laundered in my unventilated office 😂

I love how easy these scent beads are to use — just toss them right in and they dissolve perfectly every wash. The container pours smoothly without clumping, and the Ocean Mist scent leaves everything fresh without being too strong. You can really sense the clean, light fragrance even days later.

Smells sooo good!
I absolutely love this product! It smells so good and makes my laundry smell even better! The bottle is cute and easy to open. You can use as little or as little much as you like but I’ve found that a little goes a long way! I love that the product was designed to be gentle and I haven’t experienced any irritation from using it.

These scent beads are totally worth it if you usually skip boosters because they're too strong. The Ocean Mist scent is genuinely light—it smells clean, not perfumey, and it doesn't give me a headache. My gym clothes and towels stay fresh way longer now. Good value for a great, subtle freshness.

Absolutely love!! Ever since I switched to these scent boosters, my clothes last smelling wonderful even after leaving them in the closet for awhile! I get compliments on my clothes smelling fresh all the time! It’s so easy to use as well and instructions are clear and easy to follow.

I absolutely love the smell! It lasts forever!
The only complaint I have is that for the price you pay, the container is not completely full. I have been using this product for years and will continue to due to the quality but I am dissatisfied about the quantity vs price.

Good for sensitive nose and skin
I liked the scent but it was too light for me. I think it’d be perfect for someone with scent sensitivities, because I have a sensitive nose and can barely smell it. My skin is sensitive to some scents also, and this didn’t bother me.

Keeps my clothes smelling fresh for longer!
I recieved this as a free sample from Pinchme. Downy Light Ocean Mist beads make your clothes smell super fresh without being too strong. They smell like a clean beach day, not like your grandma's perfume, which is awesome. You just toss a little bit of the beads right into the washing machine before you start the load. When you pull out your sports clothes or pajamas, they smell great for way longer than usual. If you want your laundry to have a light, cool scent, these are a really easy win.

Hope this scent is around for awhile
The scent is absolutely amazing, it’s heavenly. It makes my clothes smell wonderful. It’s a scent you can still smell but I would say it is a lot less strong that some other scents. It’s just more of a softer scent. This scent is one of my favorites by far.

Ocean Mist is Dye free
Downy light - Ocean Mist doesn’t trigger my husbands allergies and his sensitive skin because it does not have heavy perfumes. Downy light is perfect if you want a light boost or subtle scent.

Ocean Freshness 🌊
Downy Light Ocean Mist beads add such a clean and refreshing scent to my laundry 🫧 The fragrance is light yet lasts for days - not too strong, just the perfect balance 🌊 I really like that it doesn’t feel heavy or overpowering, even on towels and bedding. The beads dissolve completely in the wash and leave clothes smelling fresh without residue 👕✨ The packaging is easy to use and recyclable, which is a plus for sustainability 🌿 It’s a great value for money since only a small scoop gives a noticeable freshness boost each time. Definitely one of my favorite laundry add-ons! 💙
