Patent number: 5736505Abstract: A non-alcoholic fragrance carrier with good fragrance solubility, product stability and clarity, and silky, non-tacky rub out when applied to the skin. Glycereth-7-triacetate is used for solubilization of fragrance oil into a non-alcohol water system. The ultimate fragrance carrier product is, e.g., a perfume or cologne composition, and contains a reduced overall surfactant level and reduced overall solids level. The composition thus minimizes the use of ingredients which tend to adversely affect evaporation rates, skin feel, rub-out time, and product turbidity.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1996Date of Patent: April 7, 1998Assignee: Dragoco, Inc.Inventors: Robert P. Manzo, Diane M. Kennedy
