NovaSilk®

NovaSilk® is Iberchem’s technology designed to create alcohol-free fragrance systems with a characteristic milky or pearlescent appearance.

By combining fragrance expertise with macroemulsion technology, NovaSilk® enables the development of fragrance formats that offer a cosmetic-inspired sensorial experience, creating new possibilities beyond traditional hydroalcoholic perfumes.

A New Approach to Alcohol-Free Fragrance Systems

NovaSilk® allows fragrances to be incorporated into water-based systems through a macroemulsion structure that disperses the fragrance within the aqueous phase.

This approach generates fragrance formats with a soft and cosmetic-like sensorial character, opening new opportunities for product concepts positioned between perfumery and cosmetic care.

NovaSilk® is supplied as a ready-to-use premix, designed to simplify the creation of alcohol-free milky fragrance systems.

During product preparation, the premix can be diluted in water and combined with an appropriate preservative system to obtain the final fragrance base.

This formulation approach allows product developers to create alcohol-free fragrance formats in a simple and flexible way.

Wellness and skincare trends are increasingly influencing the perfume world. Today, fragrances are not only designed to scent the skin but also to care for it, combining aromatic pleasure with gentle, skin-friendly formulations.

Alcohol-free fragrances are transforming modern perfumery by offering a softer alternative to traditional hydroalcoholic perfumes. Made with water-based formulas, they release fragrance more gently on the skin while reducing the risk of irritation.

These perfumes are also more respectful for sensitive users and younger audiences, making them suitable for a wider public, including smaller or younger consumers. By avoiding alcohol, they provide a delicate and skin-friendly way to enjoy fragrances.
