Curing time for Fragrances in Creams ?
Hi, I am not sure how to verbalize exactly what I am asking so I will start by sharing my formulation.
Leave in Hair conditioning mask:
Cond
Mask #1Tot Weight Water Phase %w dH20 74.5 Glycerin 2 Oil Phase BTMS-50 5 Cetearyl Alcohol 3 Coconut Oil 5 Almond Oil 5 Cool Down Phase Germall Plus Liquid 0.5 Fragrance 0.5 Polyquat 7 3 Hydrolyzed Almond Protein 1.5 The fragrance was not very strong. I was disappointed with the result. The product performance was excellent. A few weeks later, I opened the jar and the smell was VERY strong. Why does this happen?
I made 2 other variations of this cream.
The second one using another fragrance at the same percentage and it was even more disappointing. Today, I opened the jar and the smell improved dramatically.
The 3rd batch was modified slightly. The fragrance level was increased to 1.0% (double) and it was dissolved in IPM 1.2%. I used a strong floral scent and it was also weak despite using 1.0%. I thought my use of IPM was high and might have muted the tones slightly. The smell is still weak however it has only been 3-4 days.
Is there some kind of curing time for fragrances in creams/lotions? What am I missing?
