Questions from Patreon: How to make fragrances last longer"
On my Patreon site, there's a section for questions and answers each month. Since Patreon is a massive pain in the bum to navigate sometimes, I'm posting the questions and answers here for everyone to read. I hope you enjoy these over the next few days!
In May, Catherine asked: What is the best "fixative" to make fragrances last longer in lotions and other bath body products" I know Lotioncrafter has AromaFix (haven't tried it yet), but I'm interested in other suggestions.
Lotioncrafter's AromaFix* (INCI: PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether) would be a very good choice, but I can't speak from experience about it.
C12-15 alkyl benzoate, an ester that will make your fragrances last longer. I have used this, and I noticed it seemed to make fragrances last longer when I used it at 5% or higher.
Ethylhexylglycerin, an ingredient we find in some preservatives. also helps with fragrances.
Natrasorb Bath can help with bath salts, bath bombs, bath milks, and so on. I use it at 3% and it makes such a huge difference, I've found.
What do I do" I find using my fragrances at 1% in a lotion or slightly more at up to 2% in a rinse off product works well. (I definitely only need 0.5% in my leave in conditioners!) But they don't last all day, and it can be a bit of a punch in the face for a stronger fragrance. This isn't the best advice I can give - the best is to use a fragrance fixative in your products - but it will help a bit.
I think it depends on yo...
