Are your fragrance oils skin-safe?

Most of our fragrance oils are skin-safe, provided that you use them at the correct concentration. With skin-safe fragrance oils, you can make your own soap, bath bombs, lotion, shampoo, perfume, massage oil, and more. Please refer to the IFRA certificates on each fragrance page for specific usage requirements.

What is the IFRA?

IFRA stands for the International Fragrance Association, which is a fragrance regulatory body. Head to our blog to learn more about the IFRA.

What does "Maximum Use Level for Skin Exposure" mean? 

The Maximum Use Level for Skin Exposure is the amount of fragrance, flavor and essential oil that can come in contact with the skin. It does not mean that your base product can perform at these levels. You must test each oil in each application for evaluation of desired performance. Baby products often have lower use levels than those listed in the IFRA table. Please read the IFRA certificate to see maximum use levels for different products.

Do your fragrances comply with the IFRA? 

All of our fragrance products are in compliance with the standards of the International Fragrance Association, provided the fragrance is used at the noted maximum concentration level(s) for the application(s) listed in the IFRA tables and on the IFRA certificate.

How can I access the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for a fragrance?

Links to SDS documents are available on our fragrance pages at the end of the product description. Scroll to the bottom of the section to view document links.

Are fragrance oils natural?

Fragrance oils are a complex blend of natural and synthetic ingredients. Many fragrance oils are formulated to include natural ingredients such as essential oils. However, we don't make any claims about our fragrances being all-natural. Please read our article on natural fragrance oils for more information.

How can I find a specific fragrance I’m looking for?

If you know any part of the fragrance oil’s name, start by typing it into the search bar at the top of our website to view the results. You can also search for specific fragrance notes, such as floral, musk or vanilla. 

Our fragrance oils are also organized into several different collections, which makes it easier to find what you're looking for. Head to our blog to learn more about our collections.

Can you blend a custom fragrance for me?

We are unable to mix custom fragrances for individuals at this time. However, if you have a specific fragrance oil you would like us to carry, please let us know. Our skilled perfumers are able to create duplications and new fragrances for us.

How are your fragrance oils packaged?

• Our 1 oz through 16 oz bottles of fragrance are packaged in clear HDPE plastic bottles. Most bottles are heat-sealed with an induction liner. This is done to protect the fragrances and keep them from leaking during transit.
• Our 7 lb fragrances will typically be packaged in a plastic jug to reduce packaging materials. If ordering 14 or 21 lbs of a fragrance, you will typically receive it in multiple 7lb jugs.
• If you order 25+ lbs of fragrance, it will be packaged in metal or plastic pail(s), depending on the fragrance ordered. You cannot request a specific packaging material. All of our large fragrance pails have a pouring spout. Nozzles are not included.

Do you combine bottles if I order more than one of the same fragrance?

If you order multiple bottles of a certain fragrance, we will package them in the bottle size(s) you ordered. For example, if you order 2x 8oz bottles, you will receive two 8 oz bottles.

If you want us to combine your bottles, please leave a note when you check out.

What can I do if I don’t like a fragrance oil?

While all of our fragrance oils are made with the highest quality materials, we know that not everyone will love every fragrance. However, we always encourage you to try making a project with the fragrance before deciding that you don’t like a fragrance. Many fragrances smell different out of the bottle (OOTB) than they do in wax, soap, or other projects. You may love the fragrance in wax or soap even if you don’t care for the OOTB scent.

When gauging fragrance oils, we also encourage you to smell from the bottle rather than smelling the cap. It is more difficult to get an accurate idea of the fragrance when smelling a 1 oz bottle due to the small size of the opening. To get a better idea of what a fragrance really smells like, blotter strips can also be useful.

If you’ve tried these techniques and still don’t care for a fragrance you ordered, there are numerous candle & soap making groups on Facebook. Many of these groups allow you to de-stash supplies.

Can I return fragrance oils?

For hygienic reasons, fragrance oils cannot be returned. We are unable to issue refunds or replacements unless you received the wrong fragrance oil (See question below).

When trying a new fragrance, we always recommend ordering a 1 oz sample size before ordering a larger size. We have 1 oz samples available for all of our fragrances. With our tiered 1 oz bottle discount, you can save money by ordering multiple different samples to try. See the Buy More, Save More tab on fragrance product pages for more information on tiered discounts.

What can I do if I believe I receive the wrong fragrance oil?

While we do our best to ensure all fragrances are labeled accurately, mistakes can occur. If you believe you received a mislabeled fragrance, please contact us within 7 days to report the error. Although we cannot accept returns on fragrance oils, we may issue a replacement if we determine that you did receive the wrong fragrance.

Please note that there may be slight variations in a fragrance oil’s color from batch to batch. Color variation alone doesn’t necessarily mean that you received the wrong fragrance.
