  • Vanilla color stabilizer for surfactants body wash

    Posted by Anonymous on October 4, 2018 at 8:56 pm

    Dear all, I would like to ask you, is there a vanilla color stabilizer for surfactants products? 

    Also, are there any substances that help extend the duration of the scent that a body lotion leaves on the skin?

    thank you very much in advance for your time.

    Are you aware how expensive natural vanilla became?

    You may wish to consider using caramel as a colorant.
    It’s cheaper, more widely used and more stable
    yet totally natural.

    I think that Glucam-P20 can help with vanilla, quote me if I am wrong.

    I think what is meant that vanilla (in a fragrance blend) can affect the colour, mostly brownish and how to avoid this?

    What about taking a few vanilla beans and boiling them and put in to a L of Olive Oil or Sunflower oil, so then you infuse it over a few days. There will be no colour.
    Or you can buy vanilla infused oils quite cheaply with a stunning odour and no colour. Hope this helps

    And there won’t be a scent to speak of. At least not when I made a vanilla macerate myself once (in almond oil). The smell was very weak…
    A year ago or so there was a perfumer on this forum, (who unfortunately isn’t active here anymore) he wrote that vanilla is one of the most difficult fragrant ingredients regarding discoloration etc.
