Save it privately for yourself or publicly for the community. You need a free account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build a formula step by step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/beta-xab001\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/inzenzo-steps-formula.png\" alt=\"Four steps: add ingredients, enter purity, solvent and weight, check the total, then save.\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The four steps of the formula maker.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Open the <a href=\"\/beta-xab001\/create-formula\/\">formula maker<\/a> and give your formula a name.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Add an ingredient by typing its name or CAS number. If you keep a <a href=\"\/beta-xab001\/palette\/\">Perfumer&#8217;s palette<\/a>, switch <strong>Ingredients from<\/strong> to <strong>My palette<\/strong> to search only your own materials and accords.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Enter the <strong>purity<\/strong> in percent and the <strong>weight<\/strong> in grams.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>If the purity is below 100%, choose the <strong>solvent<\/strong> used to dilute the material.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Add more lines with <strong>Add ingredient<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Write notes if you like, choose who can see the formula, and press <strong>Save formula<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How purity, solvent and weight work together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weight you enter is the weight of what goes on the scale, solvent included. A material at 10% in ethanol, weighed at 30 g, is one line at 30 g. That is why Inzenzo asks for the solvent whenever purity is below 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/beta-xab001\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/inzenzo-tools-formula.png\" alt=\"The formula maker with columns for ingredient, purity, solvent and weight, a total in grams and a private or public choice.\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A formula with a running total. Values are an example.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total at the bottom is the sum of all weights in grams. Once saved, the formula page shows each ingredient with its share of the total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public or private<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Public<\/strong>: everyone can see the formula, and it can appear on the pages of the ingredients it uses.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Private<\/strong>: only you can see it, and you can change this later from <a href=\"\/beta-xab001\/my-formulas\/\">My formulas<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formula names and notes are plain text. Links are not allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use accords as one ingredient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A formula of your own can be saved as an <strong>accord<\/strong> in your palette and used inside a new formula. It counts as one ingredient: you enter only its weight. Press the accord name on the saved formula to open the accord. The <a href=\"\/beta-xab001\/palette\/\">palette guide<\/a> explains how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I edit a formula after saving it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Open it from My formulas and choose edit, then save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a limit on the number of ingredients?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The formula maker stops you when you reach the maximum number of ingredients per formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the formula maker check IFRA limits?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not on the formula itself. Use the <a href=\"\/beta-xab001\/tools\/ifra-calculator\/\">IFRA calculator<\/a> to check a material against its limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/beta-xab001\/create-formula\/\">Create a formula<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/beta-xab001\/my-formulas\/\">My formulas<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Build a perfume formula with purity, solvent and weight, see the total and percentages, and save it as public or private.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":964,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[319],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tools"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=834"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/834\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1151,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/834\/revisions\/1151"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inzenzo.com\/beta-xab001\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
