Augeo Multi Clean, an innovative solvent derived from renewable sources, now available at The Ingredients Store. With exceptional solubilising power, low evaporation rate, and minimal odour, Augeo stands out as the premier base oil for reed diffusers in our luxury brand collections.
Setting itself apart from alternatives like DPM, Augeo evaporates completely without leaving any metallic odours. We're thrilled to introduce this remarkable product to our customers, offering unparalleled quality and performance.
Augeo is not only compatible with synthetic reeds but also suited for a wide range of home fragrance products, including room and linen sprays. Its key features include fragrance enhancement, improved HSE profile, eco-friendliness, solubility power, low carbon footprint, minimal odour and non-toxicity.
We advise using between 10% to 25% fragrance oil depending on the IFRA.
INCI Listing: Isopropylideneglycerol
Frequently asked questions
What is Augeo?
Augeo is isopropylidene glycerol (INCI Isopropylideneglycerol), a clear, colourless solvent derived from glycerol, at 99.5% purity or above.
Why use it for reed diffusers?
It dissolves fragrance well and travels up the reeds steadily, giving an even throw over time. It is a popular alternative to older solvent-based diffuser bases.
How much fragrance should I add?
Test with your fragrance and reeds. Always check the fragrance's IFRA certificate and SDS, and label the finished product to CLP rules.
What pack sizes can I buy?
From 500g up to a 210kg drum, all priced online.
