In which solvents and bases is this osmanthus absolute soluble for perfume and cosmetics formulations?
This absolute is fully soluble in ethanol and fixed oils, and insoluble in water — the standard solubility profile for flower absolutes, ideal for alcohol-based perfumes, oil-based blends, and emulsion systems.
Solubility Profile
| Solvent / Base | Solubility |
|---|---|
| Ethanol (95%+) | Soluble |
| Fixed oils (jojoba, almond, etc.) | Soluble |
| Dipropylene glycol (DPG) | Soluble |
| Water | Insoluble |
| Glycerin | Poorly soluble |
- In fine perfumery, dissolve directly in 96% ethanol at 1%–5% before compounding
- For body oils and candle bases, pre-blend in a fixed oil or fractionated coconut oil at 10% dilution
- For water-based products (sprays, lotions), solubilize first with a surfactant or emulsifier such as polysorbate 20/80
