Silk Perfume – Solid Cream Perfume

Silk Perfume is a simple anhydrous perfume in a soft balm format and a convenient alternative to traditional alcohol-based perfume.

Jojoba oil provides excellent oxidative stability and an elegant skin feel, while grapeseed oil softens the formula. Beeswax gives the perfume its compact balm texture.

The fragrance can be created with essential oils, natural fragrances or cosmetic fragrance oils. The final concentration must always comply with the IFRA limit for the specific fragrance material and leave-on product category.

As the formula contains no water, a conventional preservative is not required. Vitamin E provides antioxidant support for the oils.
