  • Fragrance Oil

Answer

Formulation Feedback

This simple mixture of LipidSoft™ Deo, Purified Water, and Fragrance Oil will not create a stable product.

Here's why:

  • Solubility: LipidSoft™ Deo and fragrance oils are not fully soluble in water. When mixed, they will separate over time.
  • Stability: Without an emulsifier or solubilizer, the ingredients won't stay uniformly mixed.
  • Preservation: Any product containing water requires a preservative to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast.

To create a stable formulation, you would typically need to add a solubilizer or emulsifier to properly disperse the LipidSoft™ Deo and fragrance oil in the water. You would also need to include a suitable preservative.

The description for LipidSoft™ Deo provides an example deodorant spray formula that includes water, LipidSoft™ Deo, a solubilizer (Flora Solve Clear), and a preservative (Phenoxyethanol SA), which demonstrates the need for these additional components.
