Fragrance oil solubility in Fractionated Coconut Oil

It is common for some fragrance oils to not fully dissolve in Fractionated Coconut Oil, leading to a cloudy appearance. This happens because fragrance oils are complex mixtures, and some of their components may be more polar than the non-polar Fractionated Coconut Oil.

To achieve a clear solution, you can use a co-solvent that is miscible with both the fragrance oil and the Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Based on the search, Isopropyl Myristate (Deodorized) is a suitable option. It is a light, highly polarized oil that can help improve the solubility of fragrance components in oils like Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Other common solvents used in perfumery that can help include Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) and Triethyl Citrate. These solvents are more polar than Fractionated Coconut Oil and can bridge the gap between the oil and the less oil-soluble components of the fragrance.

How to use a co-solvent:

• Mix the fragrance oil with the chosen co-solvent (e.g., Isopropyl Myristate, DPG, or Triethyl Citrate) first. The ratio will depend on the specific fragrance oil and co-solvent, but you can start with a 1:1 ratio of fragrance oil to co-solvent and adjust as needed to achieve clarity.
• Once the fragrance oil is fully dissolved in the co-solvent, slowly add this mixture to the Fractionated Coconut Oil while stirring.

Using a co-solvent should help create a clear, stable solution of your fragrance oil in Fractionated Coconut Oil.
