Using Fragrance Fixatives in Soap

• Flora Fix: Upon checking, "Flora Fix" is not a commonly known fragrance fixative in the cosmetic industry. A product found during the search that is somewhat related is Flora Solve™ Clear, which is a fragrance solubilizer, not an ingredient to make the scent last longer.
• Fragrance Fixatives in Soap: Making fragrance last long in rinse-off products like soap is challenging because most of the scent is washed away during showering. However, fragrance fixatives can help slow down the evaporation rate of the fragrance within the soap bar itself, making the scent in the bar last longer.
• Example Fixatives: Some substances used as fragrance fixatives, such as Styrax Resinoid, can help with this.
• Usage Percentage: The usage percentage for fragrance fixatives varies depending on the specific fixative and the fragrance composition used. Generally, they are used in small amounts. It is best to consult the supplier of each specific fixative for recommended usage rates.
• Making Fragrance Linger on Skin After Showering: Making fragrance stay on the skin after showering with soap is very difficult because soap is designed to cleanse. To achieve good scent retention on the skin, leave-on products like perfumed lotions or perfumes themselves are typically used.
• Additional Tip: Fragrance and fixatives (if used) should be added at the very last step of soap making, and at the lowest possible temperature, to prevent the fragrance from evaporating due to heat.
