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.
submitted byP&G - 1 year agoBrand expert
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.
submitted by M Bryant - 3 months ago
A: Yes, we did increase the perfume levels of our Downy Light Ocean Mist Scent Beads. We're sorry you found them too strong now. To ensure your feedback is heard, please give our team a call at (800) 688-7638.

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.

Adjustable fragrance level, fabulous scent!
I absolutely love these scent booster beads! The fragrance is - as the name suggests - light. But it doesn’t dissipate in the dryer, rather I find my clothes smell better for longer with these added in the washer than when I use scented dryer sheets. I love that I can use fragrance free detergent and dryer sheets, but adjust the scent by using these beads. It also helps me add fragrance for only my clothing and bedding, and avoid added scents for my family members who are a bit more sensitive to fragrance. HIGHLY recommend!

Light Long Lasting Freshness!!!
This is one of my favorite and was scent booster. It's easy to store not much spaces taken up. It's easy to use instructions that always at the bag or how much to use per load. It exhaust easily doesn't take long. It doesn't leave any residue behind. Smell really good especially the ocean mist. It's like a long lasting refresher. I definitely recommend getting.

Absolutely GUTTED. I was obsessed with this. I had people buying this, it was my everything everyone and I mean everyone always said I smelled so good until…THEY CHANGED THE FORMULA! Why do companies do this. I’m breaking out in hives tremendously now & I know it’s from this. Heartbroken.

Good, but won’t buy again
I really love the fresh scent of the beads. My bedding smells really good with it and it lasts, but there’s one think why I won’t buy it again. One time the beads didn’t dissolve completely and left stains on my clothes and sheets, it was gone with one more wash, but I don’t have a washing machine in my apartment and it literally costs money to wash already clean clothes just to get rid of the stains the scent booster made. Will not be buying again even though the scent is pretty amazing.

Id advise to get liquid than beads, saves more mon
Smells lovely, I lowkey be throwing more than the required amount on my washes, what, it gets the job done and the smell is heavenly. ( I know it’s toxic if you do too much 🫷). However, due to how much I put we no longer get beads but another liquid brand. The liquid ones last longer in my opinion.

Subtle fragrance but crisp
So fresh and crisp smelling in the bottle but does not cling to clothing as much as I would like the product to! If you are looking for a subtle scent, this would be ideal for you. I am a fan of a stronger fragrance so this one I am passing on!

A Must!
I absolutely love Downy Light Laundry Scent Boosters! They add the perfect amount of fresh scent to my laundry without being overpowering. I’m sensitive to strong fragrances, so I really appreciate how this formula is lighter and cleaner-smelling while still leaving my clothes noticeably fresh. My laundry comes out smelling crisp and soft, and the scent lasts for days in my closet. I also like that I can control how much I use depending on the size of the load. These have quickly become a staple in my wash routine, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a fresh scent without something too heavy.

Light & Refreshing scent
What I love about this product is the long lasting scent on my clothes. I love the smell of clean laundry and it makes that smell last longer on garments and towels. I have people stop and ask what products I use for my clothes and laundry. My son and I have sensitive skin and the scent is light and refreshing.
