  • Non-fragrance ingredients that smell good in a hydrating face serum

    Hello.

    What are some non-fragrance ingredients that could make a hydrating serum smell good?

    I know phenoxyethanol has got a pleasant rose-like scent.

    Any others that could fit in a hydrating face serum?

    I think I would go with Floral Water you can Basically add them to the Water Phase and you can write Floral Water XXX on the INCI so no Perfume is added.

    You can although use some Plant Extracts that smell very pleasant like Chamomile or Calendula.

    Or depending on the Serum there is the possibility to add some Flower Waxes Like Jasmin and Rose to the Product. which has the smell of flowers without an INCI of Perfume.

    Phenoxyethanol does not smell a lot like a rose but there is phenethyl alcohol which smells like rose water but is not as complex as the rose flower.
