  • % of fragrance in after shave?

    Posted by Margaret on November 19, 2024 at 2:46 pm

    We bought some Old Spice Classic after shave.

    What % of fragrance would be in it?

    I looked at the MSDS that’s available on-line, but it only states the range of denatured alcohol in the concoction.

    Thanks for any help you might give!

    Fragrance quantity is entirely based on preference and the IFRA recommendations for the fragrance you have chosen. For aftershave I would go easy on the fragrance since it will be used on the face and so close to the nose. I rarely use more than 0.3% - 1% in products I formulate. That may differ for you based on what you desire.
