Effect in a formula

Musk base

texturizer

rounding

Can smooth transitions, provide body and skin proximity, and hold the base together; check for musk anosmia and matrix effects.

From the source: Contributions explicitly identifiable in the source text: more radiance, more warmth, an explicitly named fixative or base support function, an effect explicitly described as long-lasting.

Use and dosage

Manufacturer's recommendation for this product grade: Traces - 2%. This is not an IFRA limit. Low: smooths transitions and extends the background. Medium: builds a noticeable musk body. High: can soften or linearize the accord; check for anosmia and matrix.

Traces - 2%

Manufacturer use guidance for this exact product — not an IFRA limit. IFRA standards must be verified separately for the specific substance scope and product grade.
