"I typically use 4% FO in body spray. I am interested in trying the modifier but concerned about my spray being diluted if I am only using 4% of the dilution. This brings my total pure FO concentration down to 0.8% if I modify the FO first, then add 4% of it. Is the safe usage rate of the modifier high enough to keep my FO at 4% and add the additional modifier needed to solubilize it (16% if sticking with 1:4 ratio), that way I still have the same scent strength in the end product? "

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer If you are making 16 oz. of body splash, 4% fragrance would equal .50 oz. You can either mix .50 fragrance with 2 oz. modifier. Then take the 4% or .50 oz. from this mixture. Or, you can take .10 oz. of fragrance and mix with .40 oz. of modifier. This entire amount can be added to the body spray. You can also mix the fragrance with Polysorbate 20 at a 1:1 ratio. This would let you increase the fragrance to .25 oz. and add .25 oz. poly 20. This may cloud your end product, though.

Posted By: WSP Staff | Date: October 24, 2019

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Thank you for the answer. What I was asking though, is if the modifier has a safe usage rate to accommodate keeping the unmodified pure Fragrance Oil at 4%, then solubilize it with the modifier, rather than using a 4% modified FO (which would be significantly diluted unless the modifier somehow intensifies fragrance oil). This would equate to a formula of 4% Fragrance Oil, 16% FO/EO Modifier and 80% Body Splash Base.

Posted By: Julie | Date: October 27, 2019

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Staff Answer Per the product directions, the fragrance is mixed 4 parts modifier to 1 part fragrance. From this new mixture, you would take out 1% or 4%, in your case, and add to the base product. Adding the full amount of fragrance and modifier would be too much liquid added to the base and would require additional preservative. As stated previously, if you want to be able to use more fragrance and less modifier, we recommend using poly 20 which can be mixed 1:1.

Staff Answer Are you making the body mist from a base? You could add more body mist to your mixture to even out the ratio of modifier to body mist.

Yes I made 8oz bottle using the body mist base. How much Modifer should I use for 8oz bottle

Posted By: Karen | Date: November 18, 2015

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Staff Answer Hi Karen - FO & EO Modifier is recommended at a 4 to 1 ratio of modifier to fragrance oil. Generally, body mist base can accept 2% fragrance. This means a recipe would breakdown as 90% Body Mist Base, 8% FO/EO Modifier, and 2% FO. For eight ounces this breaks down to 7.2 oz. base, 0.64 oz. FO/EO Modifier, and 0.16 oz. Fragrance Oil. It's important that the modifier and fragrance be mixed together before adding to the base. Also, these are just general recommendations. (continued below)

Staff Answer (continued from above) Depending on the fragrance and base used, you may find you need to adjust the recipe. Also, please make sure the FO you are using is safe at 2%. Check the IFRA usage rate to verify this information. Hope this helps!

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer The EO/FO Modifier is odorless. When this product is mixed with the fragrance, it becomes part of that fragrance so that is why it is just listed as fragrance on your label.

Posted By: WSP Staff | Date: October 31, 2014

It should not affect your final product. Its main purpose is to keep your formulation clear and eliminate cloudiness.

	"Used in Liquid Soap"
COMMENTS: I was really anxious to try this modifier in my liquid soap. I tried it twice. The first time my customer complained of no scent so the 2nd time I added a bit more after talking with WSP. The scent still did not come through strong enough and we are back to polysorbate. Sadly.

"No more poly 20! Love this stuff!"

COMMENTS: This stuff is awesome! I used this in my homemade foaming hand wash and body wash and it did thicken the soap so that was wonderful for the body wash but I had to add some water to my foaming hand wash, but not a lot more. I think I could do a 1:2 ratio vs. 1:4 ratio and still get a nice outcome, since I use goat milk and don't care about clarity (I did test this for clarity and it does work nicely). To answer any questions concerning how much of the finished product you need to add for a strong enough fragrance; I like my products to smell a little more on the strong side and I was still able to use the same amount as usual. For example if you normally add 1-2 teaspoons into an 8 oz bottle, you still only add that much of the finished mix. I end up having left over mix, which is nice since it stretches out my fragrance oils :) and bought some fragrance bottles from here to store them. Oh I also want to add that this so far hasn't clogged my foaming pumps which has also been an issue when using poly 20. Not sure I can blame the poly 20 on the clogging but the modifier really helps with the issue, so GOODBYE POLY 20!

COMMENTS: I replaced poly20 with this modifier, and I am so happy that I did! It really blends everything together and my final products are not as cloudy as it was before. You are going to have to work with this and find the right ratio with each batch. It is definitely worth being patient with!

	"Good product/Learning curve"
COMMENTS: This product has been a bit of a learning curve to use as some fragrance oils take a higher percentage to keep product clear. Product works well once percentages are figured out. No "off" scent. Price seems a little high for the amount you have to use in a recipe. Will be ordering in a larger container next order.

"works as directs"

COMMENTS: Works as directed kept my foam soap from precipitating out and kept it nice and clear. It did cause a minor acceleration/thickening of my foam soap BUT that is easily corrected by adding more distilled water to it. It lightened up the FO a bit so instead of adding the 10% recommended i added probably around 20-30% of the mixture) i usually add 1-5% of the concentrate per liquid soap batch! But other then that i like it!
