Using Sugar Fix for Fragrance Longevity in Shower Gel
Question
Regarding using Sugar Fix for fragrance fixation in a formula:
1. Is it necessary to mix Sugar Fix with Alcohol before mixing with the fragrance oil?
2. If mixing with Alcohol is needed, what is the recommended ratio (% of fragrance oil)?
The goal is to use the resulting fragrance mixture in Shower Gel to prevent the scent from disappearing immediately when lathering.
Answer
Using Sugar Fix in Shower Gel
To use Sugar Fix to help fragrance last longer in your shower gel formula, you do not need to mix it with alcohol first.
Based on the product description, Sugar Fix should be mixed directly with the fragrance oil (perfume oil). You can use gentle heat (50-60°C) for a short time to help them mix uniformly if needed. Once the Sugar Fix is fully dissolved and mixed with the fragrance, this mixture is then added to your main shower gel recipe.
The recommended usage rate for Sugar Fix is 1-5% of the total formula. Using a higher percentage might actually weaken the fragrance scent.
This method helps to extend the longevity of the fragrance, which is particularly useful in wash-off products like shower gel where fragrance can quickly dissipate.
