2. Perfume Gel
A gel base made from Fractionated Coconut Oil can be used to create a perfume gel.
Formula:
- Fragrance oil or essential oil: 5-15%
- Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel: 85-95%
Instructions:
Mix the fragrance oil or essential oil into the Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel until evenly dispersed.
3. Solid Perfume Stick
A solid oil stick base is excellent for creating portable solid perfumes.
Formula:
- Fragrance oil or essential oil: 10-30%
- Oil Stick Base: 70-90%
