How to Add Fragrance to Loose Powder

It is possible to add fragrance oils or essential oils to loose powder, even though they are liquids. The key is to mix them gradually and thoroughly with the powder base.

Suitable Powders:
You can use various cosmetic powders as the base, such as:

• Talc Powder (like Talc Powder (5 Micron, Methicone Coated))
• Mica Powder (like Mica Powder (20 Micron, Methicone Coated))

These powders provide a good base for absorbing and distributing the fragrance.

Fragrance:
Choose your desired fragrance oil or essential oil. Examples include Strawberry (Fragrance Oil), Cherry (Fragrance Oil), or Lavender Fragrance Oil.

Mixing Method:
The method involves gradually incorporating the liquid fragrance into the powder. A common technique is to use a mortar and pestle or a suitable mixing device.

1. Measure your powder base and the fragrance oil (typically 1-2% of the total weight).
2. Place the powder in your mixing container.
3. Slowly add the fragrance oil to the powder, a few drops or a small spray at a time.
4. Grind and mix thoroughly after each addition to ensure the oil is evenly dispersed and absorbed by the powder.
5. Continue adding fragrance and mixing until all the oil is incorporated and the powder is uniform.
6. Optionally, sift the powder to ensure a fine, lump-free texture.

This process allows the powder particles to absorb the oil, resulting in a fragranced loose powder without a wet or oily feel. The fragrance oil will bind to the powder particles.

Adding fragrance to powder is indeed possible and is a standard technique in cosmetic formulation.
