Normal concentration of perfume is 0.5-2% but usually more in powders because they contain an adosrbant. Most of the perfumes do not dissolve the product contains less than 60-65.
Solubilization of perfumes is required especially in liquid preparations like lotions, solutions. No perfume his good solubility in pure water. Phenypethyl and is perfume has reasonally good solubility.
The time of addition of perfume and storage of the preparation are also to be considered where the preparation is supposed to contain a perfumes.
Solubilzation techniques are like miscellane formation and use of surfactant or soap etc.
Sandal vetivert and patchouli cedar wood geraniol diphenyl oxide are all stable to sulphides and hece can be used in depilatioties . Eugenol vetivert and pfatchouli cause discolouration of the creams vetiver and partchouli have excellent stability but cause discolouration of the product.
Colouring agents can be used as active ingrerdient like in lipsticks oail lacquers roug etc and it used to improve the organoleptic properties of cosmetic preparations
What if surfactant is high.....
Nice one rameshwar...But what do you think what would be the effect if the surfactant is high enough in concentration; would it have any effect on release of volatile oils used in perfume???
