Suspending mica in perfume formula
Hi!
Does anyone knows if it is possible to suspend mica in perfume? I can’t change the composition, so I can’t add any suspending ingredient and I have only 5-10% water to use. Here’s the composition:
Alcohol - 75-80%
Fragrance - 15%
Water - 5-10%
Any thoughts?
Thankss

Use a language translator:
Es imposible que logres una suspencion si no aumentas la viscosidad del producto. Para ese fin puedes usar CARBOPOL AQUA SF-1 (nombre comercial), desde una concentracion de 3.0%. Haz la pruebas y me comentas. Saludos.

Hi..
I did a laboratory trial for EDT with some glitter inside. I use Sepimax Zen 0.25%.
You can add Sepimax Zen into your Aqua&Alcohol mixture. But you need to mix it with rotor stator to make it swell faster. To calculate the evaporation, i weigh the empty beaker glass first before adding any material inside. After that, i will add water + alcohol + sepimax zen, then i will mix it with rotor stator until all sepimax zen is completely homogenous and make sure there are no lumps of Sepimax Zen left. (Cover the beaker with Aluminium foil to minimize the evaporation during mixing)
After that you calculate the evaporation, then add the rest ingredient.
It stable over months and sepimax zen is good enough to suspend particle in hydroalcoholic liquid like EDT. The viscosity is slightly increased, but it still sprayable very well.
You can contact Seppic distributor in your country to get the sample.
