How to Use Citromask for Odor Masking

Based on the information provided, here is how to use Citromask to mask chemical odors in cosmetic formulations:

• When to Add: Citromask should be added at the very end of your formulation process, after the main formula is complete. It should not be exposed to heat.
• Usage Percentage: The recommended usage rate is typically up to 1.0%. You can start with a lower percentage (e.g., 0.1%) and gradually increase it until the chemical odor is sufficiently masked. A higher percentage will provide stronger odor masking.
• Effect on Fragrance: Citromask will help to mask unwanted chemical odors. However, it will also reduce the intensity of any fragrance you add to the formula.
• Recommendation: It is suggested to first try adding your intended fragrance to see if it alone can effectively cover the chemical odor. If the fragrance is not strong enough to mask the chemical smell, then you can use Citromask to help, keeping in mind that it will also make your added fragrance less prominent.

Therefore, while Citromask can help mask chemical odors, it will also affect your intended fragrance. You may need to adjust the amount of fragrance used when also incorporating Citromask.
