Scented Gel Composition and Rose Fragrance Recommendation

Regarding the opaque, colored, jelly-like air freshener gels you described, the exact formulas for commercial products are proprietary. However, this type of gel typically consists of the following main components:

• Gelling Agent: This is the ingredient that creates the gel structure. For an opaque or colored gel, you might use a gelling agent that naturally produces a non-clear result or one that is compatible with colorants and other additives that make it opaque. Examples of gelling agents include polymers like Carbomer or modified starches.
• Water: The primary base of the gel.
• Fragrance Oil: Provides the scent.
• Colorant: Gives the gel its desired color.
• Preservative: Prevents microbial growth and extends shelf life.

To achieve the opaque, jelly texture, you would need to select a suitable gelling agent. Based on the available information, ingredients like CornThick™ (Corn Starch Modified) can create a milky white, semi-transparent gel texture. Carbomer 940 is another common gelling agent that can be used, and its final appearance (clear or opaque) can depend on the formulation and neutralization agent used, and it can be colored.

For a sweet rose fragrance, fragrance oils are generally used in this type of product. Based on your preference for a sweet and lovely rose scent, you might consider options like Rose Blossom, Rose Petal, or Red Roses (compare to Jo Malone) fragrance oils. These names suggest scent profiles that could align with a sweet rose aroma.

When formulating, you would combine the gelling agent with water, add the fragrance oil and colorant, and include a preservative to ensure stability and safety.
