Fragrance product
An anhydrous and alcohol-free slow fragrance diffusive composition (lotion, gel or cream) with longer lasting properties than hydroalcoholic formula fragrance product that contains 50 to 75 percent by weight dimethicone crosspolymer gel, 0.01 to 30 percent by weight fragrance oil and 5 to 40 percent by weight volatile linear silicone fluid. Emollients may be added to moisturize the skin, improve the fragrance rendition and/or increase the miscibility of the fragrance oil in the composition when a high level of dimethicone is used (in case of a lotion for example). Moreover, a preservative and some pigments can be added to the formula to preserve the fragrant product from bacteria contamination and to improve the aesthetics respectively.
1. An anhydrous alcohol-free and slow fragrance diffusive composition consisting of:
50 to 75 percent by weight an anhydrous dimethicone crosspolymer gel, consisting of:
7-20% dimethicone crosspolymer in linear silicone fluid;
0.01 to 30 percent by weight a non-polar fragrance oil;
5 to 40 percent by weight a volatile linear silicone fluid with a low average molecular weight and a relatively low viscosity between 0.6 and 3.0 cSt, wherein the volatile linear silicone fluid is represented by the formula:
an emollient that is a linear or branched ester with a carbon chain of up to 10 carbon atoms;
optionally a preservative; and
optionally one or more pigments,
wherein a viscosity of the composition is adjusted based on a ratio of the volatile linear silicone fluid and the dimethicone crosspolymer gel, wherein the composition manifests an extended release of fragrance notes with moisturizing, miscibility, clarity, and original fragrance rendition.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the volatile linear silicone fluid is dimethicone.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the emollient is one or more of: isononyl isononanoate, triethyl citrate, isooctyl isooctanoate, diisopropyl adipate, glycerin heptanoate, ethylhexyl caprylate, diisopropyl sebacate, neopentylglycol diheptanoate, and isodecyl neopentanoate; and/or combinations thereof.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the emollient is one or more of PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether, caprylic/capric triglycerides and/or combinations thereof.
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the emollient is one or more of: fatty alcohols, fatty acids, ethers, silicones and hydrocarbons.
6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the emollient is represented by the formula R i —COO—R, R and R i , wherein R i and R includes same or different carbon chain lengths.
7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the emollient is triethyl citrate.
8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the emollient is PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether.
9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the emollient is caprylic/capric triglycerides.
10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the dimethicone crosspolymer gel consisting of 8-12% dimethicone crosspolymer in linear silicone fluid.
11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the volatile linear silicone fluid is represented by the formula
wherein n is an integer between 0 and 6.
12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein n is an integer between 1 and 4.
13. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the volatile silicone fluid is a pure silicone polymer.
