This simple formulation base yields clear sticks at up to 1% fragrance when a freshly produced, high quality grade of glycerin is utilized. Sodium Stearate OP-100 V delivers a lower stick solidification (set) point than Sodium Stearate OP-200V. Lower Spectrasolv® DMDA use levels increase stick gelling temperature. Increased fragrance levels reduce stick set point.
