Thanks Scented, here's my story:

I am located in Japan. While I can see importing FO's in concentrated form, if I import the base or an emulsifier, the freight would kill me. Much better I dilute in Japan with local materials.

I am trying to make a water-based fragrance that is to be used in humidifiers. At first I tried to find an emulsifier that would produce a clear product. Have not been successul at doing that. The best I think I can do locally is polysorbate 20. It seems to be very user friendly.

I have this in mind for a formulation:

15% FO

15% polysorbate 20

30% propylene glycol (to kill germs in the air)

25% distilled water (to water it down and improve my profit structure)

15% ethanol (to kill germs in the water)

I tried using Gremaben II but it made it very soapy. I am trying to keep bubles out of it.

This is just a starting point. I would like to get you input on this.

Thank you.
