Using Fragrances in Face Cream
Based on the information provided, here are the answers to your questions about using fragrances from bescents.com in face cream:
Suitability: Most finished fragrances can be mixed into face cream. However, individual fragrance components are generally not recommended for use alone in cream as they are not complete fragrance blends.
Usage Percentage: The percentages listed (e.g., Lotion, Cream, Gel, Serum: 0.1-0.5%) are recommended usage levels for those product types. If a specific fragrance does not have instructions, follow the general guideline for creams, which is typically 0.1-0.5%.
Mixing Method: Fragrances should typically be added in the final step of making a cream, during the cool-down phase after the emulsion has formed and cooled. Avoid adding them at high temperatures. They are usually dispersed in the finished cream rather than dissolved in the water phase beforehand.
In conclusion, you can use most finished fragrances in your face cream at the recommended concentration (0.1-0.5%), adding them at the end of the formulation process.
