Compatibility of Non-Alcoholic, Non-Allergic Water Based Micro Emulsion Perfumes for Skin and Silk Fabrics

Abstract

Nowadays perfumes have become as essentials in everyday life. Recent studies reveal that alcohols used as a solvent and few fragrance chemicals have found to have a toxic effect on human health, especially about respiratory symptoms, allergy, autism, asthma, skin disease and eczema. Apart from this, because of Volatile Organic Chemical (VOC) restrictions, environmental pressures in Europe and religious constraints in Islamic nations, there is a need to open up a new market segment of non alcoholic fine fragrances. Water-based micro emulsion as perfumes will be a healthy alternative in that case. Many people apply perfume on clothes not only to cover unpleasant smell but also to protect themselves from perfumes that are thought to be allergic for skin and body. Hence this paper aims to study the effect of water-based perfumes on the skin for contact allergy and colored silk fabric based on mechanical properties (abrasion, tensile strength, pilling, etc.) as well as the colour fastness properties.

Solubilization and release of fragrance agents in the aqueous solution of CO2 switchable surfactants

“…However, the use of ethanol is accompanied by risks and difficulties associated with handling, storing, and transporting huge amounts of the flammable organic solvent, while ethanol is proved to be one of the causes of allergic contact dermatitis (Rahi, 2016;Stora, 2002). Health organizations and environmental agencies are calling for the reduction in the use of ethanol, and consumers have been turning to alcohol-free products (Kavitha & Srinivasan, 2017).Thus, developing waterbased fragrance solutions that meet consumers and industrial demands is of great interest.…”

The Effect of Solvent Type on Oil Yield on Essential Oil of Sweet Orange Peel Extract (Citrus X Sinensis)

“…Currently, consumers tend to prefer natural and environmentally friendly perfumes made from pure, safe ingredients (4). Therefore, we need materials that are able to provide a fragrance or fragrance that is much liked by consumers who come from natural ingredients.…”
