Artisan's Alcohol may be used for both the manufacture of perfumes and colognes or other perfumery products that contain water. Our experiments have determined that Artisan's alcohol is completely miscible in water. Water may be used in any proportion without clouding. Artisan's alcohol may be used as a direct substitute for any specially denatured alcohol. Of course, each fragrance blend is different. You will need to test your own specific blends to determine the exact amount of water that can be added without clouding.

If clouding persists, Cremophor may be used to mediate. You can read more about Cremophor here.

Perfumer's Alcohol
INCI: SDA 40B 200 proof, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl alcohol

Perfumer's alcohol is the professional diluent used to make fine perfumes, colognes, after shaves, eau de toilette and other alcohol-based fragrance products.

Snowdrift Farm's perfumer's alcohol base contains our proprietary blend of SD40B Alcohol, isopropyl myristate, and isopropyl alcohol. Some vendors use more than 55% water in their blends. This means, if you attempt to dilute or thin an absolute, resin or gum with their product, you will be sorely disappointed.

Snowdrift Farm's specially denatured alcohol blends are over 95% alcohol, and do not contain any water.

Formulator's Alcohol
INCI: SDA 40B 200 proof, Propylene Glycol, Isopropyl alcohol

Formulators alcohol is made with SDA40B, Propylene Glycol, Isopropyl alcohol. It's designed for use with products that require the addition of water, including colognes, aftershave, hair spray, linen sprays, hand sanitizers, astringents and self preserving lotions. Clear products may be made using this technique.

Just like our Perfumer's Alcohol, our Formulator's Alcohol does not contain any water that will prevent the proper dilution of your materials.
