The odour and uses of Female Factor
Using Copulins 0.01%.
We recommended to using Copulins 0.01% in fragrance compounds at a maximum of 0.1 to 1% (w/w) 1 to 10 grams per Kg or Litre of perfume compound. This will ensure that the active Copulins content does not exceed 1 ppm 1 part-per-million which has been found to be the upper limit at which the pheromones are esthetically acceptable.
The materials used are high purity reconstructions using synthetic sources and no human or animal extracts were used in their production.
The Copulins are a combination of 6 types of highly purified volatile fatty acids found in vaginal secretions in female humans and mammals. They increase in quantity prior to ovulation and are believed to signal readiness. However, as human ovulation is concealed it is thought that they may be used for reasons other than sexual communication and have been linked to female long term bonding in relationships.

Important Notes:
End application data applies to experiments carried out by the authors or extrapolated from those experiments using computer algorithms. As application product formulations vary widely this information is only a general guide.
Full testing by both perfumers- flavorists and end users is the only proven method to ensuring a perfume or flavours safety- strength- suitability- stability and success.
Legislation and regulations vary widely and change with time so it is your duty to check this.
