    As a nanoencapsulation startup, we utilize a biodegradable polymer to encapsulate various actives, including fine fragrance ingredients. One product idea is a pre-manufactured biodegradable ‘nanocapsules’ which is in the form of polymer dispersion in water. Customers simply add their fine fragrance/essential oils blend & stir with magnetic stirrer, resulting in a milky white sprayable water-based alcohol-free perfume with up to 20-30% fragrance concentration. The skin feel is non-sticky with minimal polymer and no surfactant. Advantages include suitability for sensitive and allergic skin, and a longer-lasting, uniform scent compared to alcohol-based perfumes.

    Just wondering would the perfume DIY community desire such a product? Let’s say it will cost about $2-4 extra to produce a 100ml 20% perfume bottle but you save on the alcohol.
