Velarax Galaxolide 50 DEP is a pre-diluted (50%) solution of Galaxolide — one of the most popular polycyclic musks used worldwide. Known for its clean, musky, slightly powdery scent, Galaxolide adds a soft, diffusive muskiness that makes perfumes smell rounder, smoother, and longer-lasting.
This 50% dilution in DEP makes it easier to handle, measure, and blend directly into fragrance formulas with excellent solubility.

Why Galaxolide 50 DEP is Preferred for Fine Fragrance
Better Odor Transparency: DEP is almost odorless, ensuring that Galaxolide’s clean white-musk scent is not masked or distorted (vs. DPG, which can add a slightly “warm” undertone).
Superior Evaporation Profile: DEP allows Galaxolide to evaporate more naturally and evenly, giving a smoother musk effect on skin (vs. DPG, which is slower-evaporating and can weigh down the fragrance).
Less Oily Feel: DEP leaves a lighter, non-greasy finish compared to IPM or DPG, making it ideal for alcohol-based perfumes.
Better Solubility in Alcohol: DEP-based Galaxolide mixes more quickly and cleanly with ethanol, preventing cloudiness in clear perfumes — an advantage over DPG or IPM grades.
