Question

Can Pheromones, Last Fix™, and Flora Fix™ be used in lotion, cream, or silicone bases instead of a spray perfume format? What considerations are there, especially regarding usage rate and evaporation compared to spray applications? Are there specific silicone bases recommended, such as `Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky)` or `Silicone Film (Soft Film, Low Viscosity, Cyclopentasiloxane Base)`?

Answer

Using Pheromones, Last Fix™, and Flora Fix™ in Lotion, Cream, or Silicone Bases

Yes, it is possible to incorporate Pheromones, Last Fix™, and Flora Fix™ into lotion, cream, or silicone bases instead of using them in a spray perfume format.

However, the crucial factor is adjusting the usage rate. The effectiveness of ingredients like pheromones is highly sensitive to the concentration and the rate at which they evaporate. Since the evaporation rate will be different in a lotion, cream, or silicone base compared to a spray, the optimal usage percentage will also change.

It's also important to be aware that pheromones can have a subtle human-like scent, and using too high a concentration can lead to undesirable results.

The recommended usage rates provided on the website are typically calculated for spray applications. Therefore, when using these ingredients in other types of formulations, you will need to perform testing and observe the results to determine the most suitable usage rate for your specific product.

Examples of suitable silicone bases include Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky) and Silicone Film (Soft Film, Low Viscosity, Cyclopentasiloxane Base).
