PassionSunKiss Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Ok, I'm new to this whole roll-on perfume thing. I'm using FCO as my carrier and was wondering do I need to use a vanilla stabilizer on FO's that contain vanilla? I tried mixing the FCO with an FO/stabilizer and something, I'm guessing it's the stabilizer, is floating at the top of the vial. It looks weird. I was wondering, if I just decide to not use the stabilizer will my mixture turn brown? I wasn't sure if browning only applied to lotions and soap. TIA!

SuzyK Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I've never had a problem with the fragrances turning brown. I don't use vanilla stabilizer in mine. I've been making the perfume for a little over a year and have some sample sizes that have been sitting around since then and they are still the same color as the first day I made them.

Faerywren Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I don't use stabilizer in my roll ons and have never had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have never needed stabilizers in oil based perfume, even with the fragrances that go the deepest of dark browns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapbuddy Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I wouldn't use a vanilla stabilizer. It's meant for a wash off product like soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
