Fragrance & Essential Oils
Give your formulation its signature scent
Solubilizer guidance: Use PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil as a solubilizer whenever adding fragrance oils. Use a 5:1 ratio of solubilizer to fragrance — for every ounce of fragrance oil, you'll need 5 ounces of PEG-40. Pre-mix the solubilizer with your fragrance before adding it to the base. Some fragrances can affect the clarity of the pomade, so test compatibility in a small batch before committing to a full batch.

Mixing Recommendations
Follow these steps for consistent results
Melt the base
Melt using indirect heat — a double boiler works best. Mix as little as possible while melting to avoid incorporating air bubbles.
Warm the solubilizer
Warm your pre-mixed fragrance and PEG-40 solution to a liquid state — usually 5–10 seconds in the microwave is enough.
Combine and add extras
Slowly mix the fragrance solution into your melted Pomade Base. You may also add extracts or colorant during this step.
Pour and cool
Pour the fragranced base into heat-safe containers and let them set and cool fully before handling. Any air bubbles or foam can be cleared by lightly misting the warm product with alcohol.
