Fresh Man Fragrance Oil, 500 ml

Fresh Man fragrance oil gives soaps, shower gels and aftershaves a fresh masculine fragrance. It is a fragrance composition for scenting homemade and professional cosmetics, bath products and candles. It is added in a small amount to the finished base and has a single function in the formulation: fragrance ingredient. The composition is of synthetic origin and made in Europe.

It differs from essential oils in its origin. The fragrance is not a distillate of a plant but a blend of synthetic fragrance compounds with no link to any specific plant.

What it is suitable for

• Soaps and cleansing products – solid and liquid soaps, shower gels, shampoos. The composition tolerates anionic, non-ionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants, so it can be used in common cleansing bases.
• Men’s skin care – aftershave balms and lotions, body lotions, hand creams, deodorants. The fragrance has a masculine character, so it is best suited to products for this target group.
• Bath bombs and bath salts – the fragrance oil can be incorporated into the dry mixture or into the oil component of the bomb.
• Candles and diffusers – scenting wax and aromatic blends is among the listed uses. We recommend testing the behaviour in a specific wax on a small sample.
• Textiles and laundry care – fragrance ingredient for laundry and textile products.

Use in a formulation

The composition is insoluble in water; it dissolves in alcohol, oils and glycols. In emulsions and anhydrous products, it is enough to mix it into the oil phase or into the finished base. In water-based products, toners or sprays, it will not disperse evenly without a solubiliser, and the droplets would separate and float on the surface. In these cases, first dissolve it in alcohol or mix it with a solubiliser, and only then add it to the water phase.

It is added cold, during the cooling phase or by incorporating it into the finished product, at a temperature of up to 40 °C. Fragrance ingredients are volatile, and with prolonged heating part of the fragrance is lost, so the composition is not added to the heated oil phase before emulsification. For creams and lotions, the right moment is when the emulsion already holds its shape and feels lukewarm to the touch. Then mix thoroughly so that the fragrance is dispersed throughout the whole volume.

The fragrance oil works in acidic, neutral and alkaline environments. It can therefore be used in soaps, shampoos, deodorants and facial products without adjusting the pH of the base. It also tolerates alcohol, which allows its use in alcohol-based aftershaves and body sprays.
