Plant-Based Fragrance Oil Usage Guidelines

Our Plant-Based Fragrance Oils can be used in a wide range of personal care products, soap making and candle making applications. Due to the nature of their composition, they may not behave like synthetic fragrance oils which contain synthetic stabilizers. Preliminary testing and experimentation are important when working with plant-based fragrance oils to overcome any challenges they may present when formulating natural personal care, soap and candle products.

The maximum usage guidelines varies for each Plant-Based Fragrance Oils and is based on the specific essential oils and natural components contained within each of the oils.
