Farnesol WS (Water Soluble, 30% Farnesol)
Water‑soluble 30% farnesol concentrate for deodorant/perfume functions; add 0.07–1% of this concentrate to deliver 0.02–0.3% farnesol; add at cool‑down (<40°C).
Farnesol WS 30% is a water‑soluble concentrate of farnesol (30% w/w) pre‑solubilized with cosmetic‑grade solubilizers for easy addition to aqueous and hydroalcoholic formulations.
Farnesol functions as a deodorant and perfuming ingredient. It helps suppress odor‑forming skin bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus species) and modulates biofilm formation; these properties support deodorant efficacy and hygiene‑oriented formulas.

Product Description: A clear to pale‑yellow liquid farnesol concentrate (30% w/w) optimized for water‑based personal‑care products. Suitable for deodorants/antiperspirant bases, leave‑on skincare, and rinse‑off where a mild floral note and odor‑control are desired.
Usage: Deodorants/antiperspirants, body lotions/creams, hand care, scalp leave‑on tonics, gentle cleansers/shampoos, and aqueous fragrance mists.
Mixing method:
- Add during cool‑down <40°C into the water or hydroalcoholic phase.
