Fragrance microencapsulation is a process where fragrance molecules are enclosed in tiny biodegradable capsules. These capsules protect the fragrance and release it gradually over time when triggered by friction, heat, or moisture.

It depends on the product form. Powder can be used for any dry product (detergents, cleaners, dry shampoo, etc.), while slurry is usually used for liquid applications. The final type and blend depend on your desired performance and application.

Minimums vary by type of capsule and start at 100 lbs of encapsulated product. Once the fragrance oil is on hand, lead times are 4–6 weeks for encapsulation.

No — encapsulation impacts how the fragrance is delivered, not its character. The capsules protect the fragrance molecules until they are released (by friction, water, pH, etc.). Encapsulation only affects performance — bloom and longevity — not how the fragrance smells.

No — all certifications have to be re-checked for the encapsulated version. The certifications shown on our product pages apply to the oil only.

No, we only encapsulate Stock Fragrance's proprietary fragrance oils and formulas. Our manufacturing partner works exclusively with our formulations to ensure quality and performance standards.

Microencapsulated fragrances can last significantly longer than traditional fragrances — often days or even weeks depending on the application. The controlled release mechanism ensures consistent scent over an extended period.

Yes. Our microencapsulation technology uses biodegradable and non-toxic materials. The capsules break down naturally and are safe for use in personal care, home care, and cosmetic products.

Microencapsulation is ideal for laundry detergents, fabric softeners, body lotions, shampoos, surface cleaners, air fresheners, and any product where long-lasting fragrance is desired.
