making smells last longer

[blee280]

Does anyone know anything that will make the FO last longer once its on the skin? Is there a product i can add to the ingredients or something?

Thanks in advance

What is it that you are making that the scent isn't lasting long enough? Soap, lotion, perfume? How are you making it, how much FO are you adding? And where do you get your FO from? More people might be able to help you if you give more information.

im making a sugar scrub..about 10 drops per scent..people have told me that they wished the smell lasted longer once on the skin. i was curious if there was something besides add more FO to make that smell last longer

What sizes are you making with the 10 drops? It's hard to guess if it's enough or not. I think, as long as it is safe with the FO, you can use like 2-4% FO.

Does that make sense?

A sugar scrub is going to be rinsed / washed off. There's no way it's going to last a long time.

Oh but I think if you made it stronger it would last a little longer. Thing is people need to let it stay on the skin longer. While it will disappear, it doesn't need to disappear once it's rinsed off.

Yes, there are things, but it depends on what you're using too.

I just got some citric solve from Snow Drift Farms that I'm going to try in some stuff, but most likely not sugar scrubs.

I'd just up the amount of what you're using. Hard to say what it is if 10 drops is in like a Tablespoon of mush, then I probably wouldn't. I might take a look at the quality of what I'm using and start working from there. Some stuff just doesn't work and if it's on the citrus end, that tends to dissipate quickly because that's the nature of it.
