How to Make Fragrance Last Longer in Lotion

To make the fragrance in your lotion last longer, you can use ingredients that help to fix or encapsulate the scent, preventing it from evaporating quickly.

One method is using fragrance encapsulation. This process wraps the fragrance molecules in a protective barrier, allowing for a slower release of the scent over time and better adhesion to the skin. Based on our search, AromaLock™ (Fragrance Encapsulation Service) is a service that encapsulates fragrance into a powder form that is water-soluble and designed for good adhesion to the skin, making it suitable for use in products like skin care creams and gels, which includes lotions.

Another type of ingredient you might encounter is a fragrance solubilizer. Products like Flora Solve™ Clear (Fragrance Solubilizer) help to disperse fragrance oils evenly in water-based formulations, creating clear and stable mixtures. While essential for incorporating fragrance into certain lotion bases (especially those with a significant water phase), a solubilizer's primary role is mixing, not necessarily extending fragrance longevity, although some solubilizers can create micelle structures that might offer some degree of encapsulation.

For the best fragrance longevity in your lotion, consider using a product or service specifically designed for fragrance fixation or encapsulation, such as AromaLock™.

Remember to follow the specific usage instructions for any ingredient you choose to ensure optimal performance and stability in your lotion formulation.
