Adding Fragrance Oil to Bubble Max Formulations

Yes, you can add fragrance oil to formulations containing Bubble Max. However, it's important to follow specific mixing instructions due to the nature of Bubble Max.

Mixing Instructions

Bubble Max is a volatile ingredient that should be handled with care to prevent evaporation. When incorporating fragrance oil into a formula with Bubble Max, follow these steps:

1. Prepare your base formula: Create your main product base (e.g., cleanser, mask) which should include a detergent for Bubble Max to work effectively.
2. Cool the formula: Ensure the formula temperature is below 30 degrees Celsius before adding Bubble Max and fragrance.
3. Add Bubble Max: Add Bubble Max at the recommended usage rate (typically 5-8%) as the last step before adding fragrance.
4. Add Fragrance Oil: Add the fragrance oil to the formula. The typical usage rate for fragrance oil in cosmetic products is between 0.1% and 1%, but always check the specific recommendations for your chosen fragrance oil.
5. Gentle Mixing: Mix the formula gently and at low speed, just enough to disperse the Bubble Max and fragrance oil evenly. Avoid high-speed mixing or vacuum, as this can cause Bubble Max to evaporate.
6. Packaging: Package the finished product in airtight containers to minimize the evaporation of Bubble Max.

Sample Formula Example

Providing a specific sample formula requires knowing the type of product you are making (cleanser, mask, etc.) and the other ingredients you plan to use. However, generally, you would create your base formula (containing water, thickeners, surfactants/detergents, etc.), then add Bubble Max (5-8%), and finally add the fragrance oil (0.1-1%) with gentle mixing.

Always perform small-scale tests to ensure compatibility and desired results before making a large batch.
