With the growing success of alcohol-free fragrances, which are attracting customers looking for new sensorial and natural experiences, the world of perfume is undergoing a major transformation.
Alcohol-free fragrances are aimed at both fine fragrances and new market trends such as “skinification”, which combines fragrance and skincare.
Thanks to its expertise in High-Pressure processes, Laboratoire BF International develops and manufactures alcohol-free Water-Based Fragrances:
- As effective as alcoholic perfumes, with up to 30% fragrance concentrate
- Softer on the skin than alcoholic fragrances, they do not irritate or dry out the skin
- More environmentally friendly than alcoholic fragrances, with a reduced carbon and water footprint
Why formulate alcohol-free fragrances using High-Pressure processes?
Clean and natural formulas
Our water-based formulas are 100% natural, clean, free of controversial polymers and ethoxylates, and can be certified organic.
They can be formulated with up to 30% fragrance concentrate.
The richness of an emulsion with a fresh, non-greasy, non-sticky finish that won’t dry out the skin.
Controlled stability, proven effectiveness
Technology of the infinitely small®
The emulsion’s fine droplets (50 to 200 nm) maintain remarkable formula stability while preserving the olfactory qualities of fragrance concentrates.
Tests have been conducted to demonstrate the performance of our alcohol-free formulas compared to alcohol-based perfumes*.
