Selecting Green Tea Fragrance for EasyThick™ Gel Base (Deodorizer vs. Fragrance Oil)
Question
I am formulating a product using the `EasyThick™ Gel` base and wish to incorporate a distinct green tea fragrance.
1. Does the product `CleanTea™ Liquid (Green Tea Extract Deodorizer)` (ID: 31621) provide a noticeable green tea scent, or is it primarily a deodorizer?
2. Could you recommend specific green tea fragrance oils available from MySkinRecipes that are suitable for use in a gel base?
3. What is the recommended usage rate (%) for the fragrance oil in the gel formulation?
Answer
Regarding your questions about the green tea scent:
1. CleanTea™ Liquid (Green Tea Extract Deodorizer) (ID: 31621)
CleanTea™ Liquid is primarily an odor-suppressant and deodorizer, not a fragrance.
- Function: Its main purpose is to suppress and eliminate various types of unwanted odors (such as body odor, bad breath, or the smell of other ingredients in a formula).
- Scent: While it contains Green Tea Extract, it is not designed to impart a strong, pleasant green tea scent. It is unlikely to provide the fragrance you are looking for.
2. Green Tea Scent for EasyThick™ Gel
If you wish to add a distinct green tea fragrance to your EasyThick™ Gel, you should use a dedicated fragrance oil. We recommend the following products from myskin:
- Green Tea (Compare to Elizabeth Arden) (ID: 252989)
- This is a sophisticated fragrance compound designed to capture the essence of fresh green tea leaves and citrus.
- Application: It is suitable for body care products, and you can typically use it at a rate of 1-5% in your gel formula.
- Green Tea (Compare to Elizabeth A.) (ID: 3066)
- This is another option for a green tea fragrance oil.
These fragrance oils can be mixed directly into your EasyThick™ Gel base.
