About Solvents & Carriers
Solvents and carriers provide the foundation for many fragrance and cosmetic preparations. They help dissolve, dilute or disperse aromatic materials, making concentrated ingredients easier to measure, blend and incorporate into a finished formulation.
Using Solvents in Perfumery
The choice of solvent can influence a formula’s clarity, evaporation, diffusion and overall performance. Different materials may be suited to alcohol-based fragrances, oil-based preparations, ingredient evaluations or the controlled dilution of powerful aroma materials.
Choosing the Right Material
Select a solvent or carrier according to the intended product, required concentration and compatibility of the ingredients being combined. Consider factors such as solubility, odour, viscosity, evaporation rate and the requirements of the finished formulation.
Handling & Documentation
Always review the product description and available technical documentation before use. Some solvents may be flammable or require particular storage, ventilation and handling precautions. Finished products must be formulated, assessed and labelled appropriately for their intended use.
