Answer

Tips for Making Cream Scent Last Longer

To make your cream have a strong and long-lasting fragrance, there are several methods you can use. Based on the staff's recommendation, here are some suggestions:

  • Use a Fragrance Fixative: This group of substances helps slow down the evaporation of the fragrance, allowing the scent to stay on the skin longer. Examples of popular fragrance fixatives include Sugar Fix or Last Fix (as recommended by the staff) or other substances in the Fragrance Fixative category.
  • Increase the Wax Component in the Cream Formula: Including at least 10% wax in your cream formula helps create a thin film on the skin, which traps the fragrance and makes it last longer. Various types of wax can be used, such as Sunflower Wax, Synthetic Wax, Ceresin Wax, etc.
  • Choose the Right Type of Fragrance: Some fragrances naturally last longer than others. Especially those in the Base Notes category or those with larger molecules tend to evaporate slowly and have better longevity.

Combining these techniques will help you achieve a cream with a strong and long-lasting fragrance as desired.
