    Hello, I just stumbled upon this discussion and wondered if you found answers since everyone seems to be focused on the fragrance itself.

    The base makes a difference. With more volatile ingredients you can get more projection in your product (one of the reasons why perfumes use alcohol). More oil based ingredients can subdue this. If your lotion for example has more oils or is water in oil then you’ll have trouble with projection. OR if you have a formula that’s mostly water based adding some glycerin can help with longevity.

    When the fragrance is non-negotiable (due to client) then you need to experiment with the volatility of your ingredients to create that balance of longevity vs projection.

    Hope this helps you!

    Your pour temp is too high. The lower the pour temp is the less of a hole you have but be careful cause then other complications can arise from lower pour temps.

    @Daniel3359 I think if you don’t know what a true preservative is and you don’t realize that everything is a chemical. You should probably get outside help when developing something that is supposed to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Regardless if it is aimed to be synthetic or natural.
