There’s a reason pheromones have sparked curiosity in both science and scent circles for decades. These subtle, often scentless compounds are known to influence attraction, mood, and social perception—making them a fascinating addition to your DIY perfume and body care formulations.
Whether you're creating products for personal use or building a unique line of fragrance-forward skincare, this guide explores how to work with pheromones, what to pair them with, and simple recipes to get you started.
What Are Pheromones—and How Do They Work in Formulations?
Pheromones are chemical messengers used by animals (including humans) to trigger behavioral responses within the same species. In personal care and perfumery, ingredients that mimic the effects of natural pheromones are believed to enhance confidence, appeal, and connection.
At Bulk Naturals Wholesale, our pheromone concentrates are a proprietary blend of essential oils and other components designed to emulate the subtle signaling effects of pheromones in nature. While the exact formulation is proprietary, they’re crafted for safe cosmetic use and formulated with perfumery in mind.
Although scientific research on synthetic or naturally derived pheromones in human applications is still evolving, many users report feeling more magnetic, emotionally elevated, or confident when wearing pheromone-enhanced products.
How to Use Pheromones in Formulations
These concentrated drops are versatile enough for a wide variety of body care applications, including:
- Perfumes & colognes
- Lotions and creams
- Body oils & butters
- Soaps & washes
- Serums or massage products
Best Practices for Formulating with Pheromones
1. Choose the Right Carrier
-
Jojoba Oil – Mimics skin's sebum, long shelf life, great for roll-on perfumes.
-
Fractionated Coconut Oil – Lightweight and neutral, great for body applications.
-
Perfumery Alcohol – Ideal for fine mist sprays with improved scent diffusion.
2. Use Proper Dilution
Dilution Guidelines
-
Recommended usage: 0.1% to 10% in final formulations
(That’s 1–10 drops per 10ml, depending on your formula and desired strength) -
Always patch test your finished product and adjust scent strength to preference.
Tip: Start lower and build up based on your formula’s purpose and other scent elements.
