  • Scent neutralizing ingredient

    Posted by CGN on December 13, 2024 at 3:04 pm

    Hello all.

    We developed a serum. The idea is for it to be fragrance free.

    Preservative: Initially, for a preservative, we used Sodium Benzoate/ Potassium Sorbate, but the addition of the preservative changed the scent profile significantly. We then used Geogard ECT, which improved the scent, but still imparted a scent. Finally, we used Spectrastat, which did not affect the scent of the product, however, there is a faint smell from the other ingredients that we are looking to neutralize.

    Does anyone know of an ingredient that can be used to help to neutralize aa faint odor (yet remain fragrance-free)?

    Here is the IL of the product:

    Water, Isoamyl Laurate, Propanediol, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, C13-15 Alkane, Niacinamide, Maltobionic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Sucrose Stearate, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Behenic Acid, Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate, Lactic Acid, Ectoin, Mica, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Glyceryl Caprylate, Glycerin

    Thank you!
