Fragrance similar to 4711 Eau de Cologne and mixing into cream
Question
- Do you have a fragrance oil similar to MASCA EAU DE COLOGNE or 4711 Eau De Cologne (described as a "cool towel" scent)?
- Can bottled Eau de Cologne be mixed directly into cosmetic cream? If not, what is the recommended usage percentage for cosmetic-grade fragrance oils in cream?
Answer
Fragrance similar to MASCA EAU DE COLOGNE or 4711 Eau De Cologne
Regarding the fragrance oil scent similar to MASCA EAU DE COLOGNE, we do not have specific information on that particular scent.
However, for a scent similar to 4711 Eau De Cologne, which you mentioned is close to a "cool towel" scent, we have the following fragrance oils that might be suitable:
- Mens Neroli (Compare to 47-11): This fragrance oil is specifically formulated to be comparable to the 4711 scent.
- Neroli Fragrance Oil: Neroli is a key component in classic Eau de Cologne formulations like 4711, so this fragrance oil may also provide a similar character.
Mixing Bottled Eau de Cologne into Cream
Regarding mixing bottled Eau de Cologne directly into cosmetic cream, it is generally not recommended. Bottled colognes typically contain a high percentage of alcohol and other ingredients that are not designed to be incorporated into cosmetic bases like creams. This can lead to instability in the cream formulation, affecting its texture, effectiveness, and potentially causing skin irritation.
It is best to use fragrance oils specifically designed for cosmetic applications. These oils are formulated to be compatible with cosmetic bases and have recommended usage rates to ensure safety and stability.
If you choose to use a cosmetic-grade fragrance oil like Mens Neroli (Compare to 47-11) or Neroli Fragrance Oil in your cream, the recommended usage rate is typically 0.1-0.5% of the total cream weight. Add the fragrance oil during the cooling phase of your formulation and mix thoroughly.
