Fragrance Fixatives in Lotion for Longevity
Question
How can I make the fragrance in my lotion last longer? Can I add a fragrance fixative to the lotion after it has been finished?
Answer
# Fragrance Fixatives in Lotion
To make the fragrance in your lotion last longer, you can use a fragrance fixative. These ingredients help to slow down the evaporation of the fragrance components, allowing the scent to linger for a longer period.
Regarding adding the fixative to a finished lotion, it is generally recommended to incorporate fragrance fixatives during the formulation process. This ensures that the fixative is properly dissolved and integrated into the lotion base, allowing it to work effectively. Adding it to a finished product might not yield the best results as it may not disperse evenly or dissolve completely, potentially affecting the lotion's texture or stability, and the effectiveness of the fragrance fixation.
The longevity of the scent also depends on the type of fragrance used itself.
