Fragrance Oils
Shop fragrance oils for personal care, cosmetic and formulation needs.
Our superior quality, concentrated, Cosmetic Fragrance Oils are formulated to be safe for use on the skin when used properly diluted.
Our Cosmetic Fragrance Oils will not cause seizing in CP soap and are not drying to the skin. They work well in soaps, lotions, creams, powders, balms, oils and scrubs. They are generally used at 2-5% in formulations and can be used as perfume oils when diluted in a vegetable oil.
Important Notes:
- Our Cosmetic Fragrance Oils are not for use in lip care products or in candles. The diluent used in our toiletry fragrance oils is better for the skin than cheaper quality diluents used in candle fragrances, but it does not burn well in candles and it is not safe for use in lip care formulations.
- Our 16 oz. and 1 gallon bottles of fragrance oil are shipped in plastic HDPE bottles to reduce the risk of breakage during shipment. If you do not plan to use up the fragrance oil shortly after receipt, we recommend that you transfer the fragrance oil to glass bottles.

Tips for Using Fragrance Oils in Cold Process Soap:
When trying a new fragrance oil in cold process soap, please use the following guidelines:
- Cold process soaps require about 1 oz of fragrance per pound of soap, but this can vary greatly with fragrance oils. Lighter scents will probably require 1-2 oz per pound of soap. Always do a test batch to test the strength and holding power of a fragrance in your formulation.
- Mix the fragrance oil with a carrier oil that you are using as a superfatting agent, or with some oil that you reserved from your recipe. Blending the fragrance oil with a carrier tends to buffer the reaction when it hits the raw soap.
- Do not use a stick blender. Stick blenders will accelerate trace. If the fragrance oil that you use also accelerates trace, you will have a compound reaction. Wait until you are familiar with the fragrance oil before you use mechanical mixing. If there appears to be no acceleration, then you may start using short bursts of the stick blender.
- Keep your temperatures within an average range, not too high or too low. This will help avoid a reaction.
- Do not use Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) with a new fragrance oil. GSE is used in soap to accelerate a slow trace. If you use fragrance oils and GSE together, you may wind up with an accelerated trace.
- Using the right procedures, you should be able to use any of our cosmetic fragrance oils in cold process soap without difficulty. We highly recommend that you do a test batch with any new fragrance oil.
