  • Essence Evaporation in Dishwah Liquid!

    Hi, The problem i am facing is that within two to three weak the essence added in dishwash liquid evaporates and the surfactant smell starts to arise. Do i need to add any solvent? or any other solution!

    You need a more robust fragrance. It doesn’t sound like you have enough base notes & middle notes in the fragrance.

    If it’s a akylbenzene sulfonate formulation (neutralized LABSA), you can add it to concentrated sulfonate as it’s also a good emulsifier.

    If it’s a milder, SLES based formula you may need an additional emulsifier like Polysorbate and/or PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil.

    Dishwash bottles may inadvertently be left open, which causes to fragrance to evaporate.
    Pulltop bottles often reduce fragrance evaporation as compared to fliptop ones, and there’s less risk of a spill if the bottle is accidentally tipped over.
