Product overview
Made for water-based cosmetic formulas
Polysorbate 20 – Cosmetic Grade is a non-ionic surfactant and solubilising agent commonly used when fragrance oils or essential oils need to be incorporated into water-based cosmetic and personal-care formulations. Fragrance materials are generally oil-soluble and do not naturally mix evenly with water, so Polysorbate 20 works by surrounding small fragrance-oil droplets and allowing them to remain dispersed throughout the water phase. This helps produce a more uniform and stable formulation while reducing oil separation or floating fragrance droplets. It is commonly used in products such as body mists, facial and body sprays, toners, cleansing products, room and linen sprays, and other water-based formulations containing fragrance. The amount required depends on the fragrance composition, fragrance concentration and the desired clarity and stability of the finished product.

Product overview
Made for water-based fragrance formulas
Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) – Fragrance Grade is a clear, low-odour liquid commonly used as a solvent, carrier and diluent in fragrance formulations. It works by helping fragrance oils and aromatic materials blend evenly, allowing the fragrance concentrate to be diluted to the required strength while maintaining a smooth and consistent scent profile. Its relatively low volatility also helps moderate the evaporation of more volatile fragrance components, supporting a more controlled and gradual release of the aroma. Because DPG has very little odour of its own, it generally does not interfere with the intended fragrance character, making it suitable for applications such as perfume oils, reed diffuser formulations, air-care products and other fragrance-based preparations.
