Fragrance Oil Grades

These fragrance oils are manufactured in two or three grades. The oils are formulated differently
depending on application. Below is a guideline for selection.

• The Manufacturers Grade fragrance oils are specifically designed for scenting products. They are used by Soaps Makers in both Melt and Pour and Cold Processed soap making; Candle Makers for use in Paraffin, Gel, and Soy wax; Incense manufacturers and Toiletry producers to scent their lotions, gels and more. This grade of oil will not seize or separate in most formulas as they contain NO Glycol (DPG), Alcohol or other cheap diluents. They are a thinner viscosity, geared for blending. This grade of oil may be applied to the skin, when blended with other ingredients but is not suggested for direct application to the body as a perfume oil. No additional or artificial coloring is added to the Manufacturers grade oils. These highly fragrant oils will yield long lasting aroma with clear bold notes. We only obtain the finest fragrance oils available and do not dilute the scent in any way--just pure and clean candles and soaps! Recommended usage is ½-1 oz of scent per pound of wax.  Great for gel candle production as this grade, regardless of fragrance, has a flash point above 175 degrees F. Hundreds of gel candle manufacturers use our manufacturers grade fragrance oils in their gel candle production with favorable results.

• The Cosmetic Grade fragrance oils were created with one purpose in mind, for use directly on the body as a skin safe perfume oil. This grade is not designed for scenting cosmetic products, as for this purpose we offer the Manufactures grade. However, for those who wish to offer their customers a fragrance oil that is worn on the skin as a cologne or perfume the Cosmetic grade is ideal. This oil is thicker than the Manufactures grade and contains FD&C Coloring. Therefore, Apple is Red, Blueberry is Blue and so on. This does not effect the scent or quality, yet enhances the appearance on a retail level. These oils may also be used on Light Rings, Simmering Pots and more! They are 100% oil with NO Alcohol, Water, Surfactants or other cheap diluents.
   

• The Premium Grade fragrance oils are primarily used by customers to scent products such as melt and pour soap, cold processed soaps, candle waxes, incense sticks and cones and toiletry bases. The premium grade of fragrance is an enhanced formula to provide additional concentration of the top note while sustaining the middle and base notes in fragrance oils. We have received numerous compliments from customers who have experienced superior results when using the premium grade. This premium grade requires less oil to be used when scenting soaps, waxes and lotions while providing superior aroma qualities.  Premium grade oils are not suitable to be directly applied to the skin unless mixed with a carrier oil. Premium grade oils are suggested for use with Soy wax as the cold and hot throw are superior.

Usage Amount

The amount used will vary from scent to scent as well as the strength desired of the final product. The table below is intended to give you a starting point only.

The quantities listed in the above table are suggestions only. We always recommend you do your own in house testing. Testing in house will allow you to adjust formulas to create quality finished products. We suggest using premium grade fragrances in all soy wax candles.
