Fragrance & Essential Oils
Give your formulation its signature scent
Solubilizer guidance: A solubilizer such as Polysorbate 20 may be needed to fully solubilize your scent oils. Pre-mix your Polysorbate 20 with your fragrance before adding it to the base — start at a 1:1 ratio and increase up to 5:1 depending on the specific fragrance. Small-batch testing is strongly recommended. If a fragrance doesn't solubilize on the first attempt, adding more Polysorbate to the already-scented base will not correct it; the pre-mix step is essential.
