Mixing Fragrance Oil in Mineral Oil

Dear Customer,

Regarding your question about dissolving fragrance oil directly in Mineral Oil (such as Baby Oil), separation can occur. This is because fragrance oils are complex mixtures with various components, some of which may not be fully compatible with mineral oil directly, preventing them from dissolving completely into a single phase, similar to the issue you experienced.

MySkinRecipes fragrance oils are designed for use in various cosmetic formulations. If you wish to mix fragrance oil with mineral oil to achieve a clear, uniform solution, we recommend using a carrier or co-solvent that is highly compatible with both the fragrance oil and the mineral oil.

Solution for Separation Issues:

We recommend using a carrier substance that helps the fragrance oil blend better with mineral oil, such as:

• Isopropyl Myristate (IPM): This is an Ester Oil commonly used as a solvent and carrier in cosmetic formulations. It can help fragrance oils disperse well in oil bases.
• Dipropylene Glycol (DPG): This is a Glycol that serves as a good solvent for fragrance oils and can help them integrate with oil bases.

Mixing Method:

1. Take the desired fragrance oil and mix it with either Isopropyl Myristate or Dipropylene Glycol in an appropriate ratio (you can start with 1:1 or 1:2 parts fragrance oil to carrier). Stir or blend well until fully combined.
2. Gradually add this dissolved fragrance mixture into the prepared Mineral Oil. Stir or mix gently until everything is well combined. This should result in mineral oil with the fragrance evenly dispersed and no separation.

Using these carriers will help the fragrance oil integrate more effectively with the mineral oil.
