What is the difference between Cyclomethicone and Roll On Perfume Base?
Cyclomethicone is a man made silicone which has a silky dry feel. It can accept up to 5% fragrance oil. It is fairly thick and can be combined with oils, such as jojoba to make a luxurious dry oil spray. The Liquid Perfume base will accept up to 50% of most fragrance oils. It is important to note that while these bases can accept this much fragrance, you must still observe the maximum use level for the particular fragrance you are using. The fragrance maximum use level is the percentage the ingredients are approved by the International Fragrance Association for skin contact. If a fragrance has a maximum use level of 8% for perfume you ABSOLUTELY can not use more than 8%….even though the base will accept more.
