Using Calm Me Down Fragrance in Water-Based Serum

The "Calm Me Down" fragrance is an oil-based product. To incorporate it into a water-based serum, you will need to use a solubilizer. A solubilizer helps to disperse the oil-based fragrance evenly throughout the water-based formula, preventing separation.

Common solubilizers used in cosmetic formulations include Polysorbates (like Polysorbate 20 or 80) or PEG-Hydrogenated Castor Oil. The appropriate usage rate for the solubilizer will depend on the specific solubilizer and the amount of fragrance you are using. It is generally recommended to use a ratio of solubilizer to fragrance, often starting with a 1:1 ratio and adjusting as needed until the mixture is clear and stable when added to the water phase.

Steps to incorporate:

1. Mix the Calm Me Down fragrance with the chosen solubilizer in a separate container.
2. Stir the mixture until it is clear and the fragrance is fully solubilized.
3. Slowly add this solubilized fragrance mixture to your water-based serum while stirring continuously.
4. Continue stirring until the fragrance is evenly dispersed throughout the serum.

Always perform a small test batch first to ensure compatibility and desired results.
