"Excellent!!!" COMMENTS:  I am so happy that WSP started carrying a natural cyclomethicone alternative!! I ordered a pound, and I'm already almost out! This is perfect for body butters, it really is comparable to cyclomethicone, I really didn't notice much of a difference at all! I have ordered natural alternatives for cyclomethicone from other suppliers, before WSP started carrying this, the price here is far better! PRODUCT USED IN:   Lotions, Creams & Butters

"What is the max fragrance load this can handle if using as a perfume base?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: C   |   July 28, 2019 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer This is an oil soluble product so it can hold a higher amount of fragrance. You need to check the IFRA for the maximum usage level for the fragrance oil you are using to be sure it is skin safe. If using a higher fragrance load, make sure it is compatible with the packaging you are using.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: July 29, 2019 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No
