What is a fragrance oil?
Fragrance oil ingredients
These are concentrated liquids extracted directly from natural plant materials like flowers, fruits, leaves, and more. They bring authentic botanical character like crisp lavender, zesty citrus, or warm sandalwood into your products. While they can be used on their own, they often serve as the natural foundation upon which more complex fragrances are built.
While nature provides a stunning array of scents, it has its limits, so this is where aroma molecules come in. These are synthetic compounds that allow perfumers to create an almost infinite spectrum of aromas. Although “synthetic” may sound harmful, our ingredients adhere to strict safety benchmarks from the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM). Our fragrances will NEVER contain potentially harmful ingredients like phthalates, parabens, or sulfates.
Solvents are used to dissolve solid aroma chemicals, transforming them into a liquid that can be blended with other ingredients. They also help the fragrance bond with wax or other product bases. Diluents are used to adjust the concentration of exceptionally strong ingredients. This ensures the final fragrance oil is perfectly balanced and that its components remain suspended and evenly mixed.
