Proper Usage and Dilution of Perfume Concentrates

Asked by: mooknaranong On: April 16, 2017 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

Can perfume concentrate be used directly? If not, what are the recommended dilution percentages for use in body spray (mixed with Alcohol) and in cosmetic formulations such as skin cream?

Answer

Perfume concentrates should not be used directly on the skin or in formulations without proper dilution. They are highly concentrated and can cause irritation or other adverse reactions if used undiluted.

The appropriate dilution rate depends on the application:

  • For body spray, it is recommended to dilute the perfume concentrate to 25-30% concentration by mixing it with Alcohol.
  • For use in cosmetic formulations such as skin creams, the recommended concentration is typically lower, ranging from 0.5% to 5%, depending on the desired scent intensity.

Products like fragrance oils or perfume concentrates, including those compared to brand names such as Poeme (compare to Lancome) or Tresor (compare to Lancome), fall into this category and require dilution before use.
