Fragrance oils are specially formulated aromatic oils used to add scent to products such as soaps, candles, lotions, perfumes, and body care items. Unlike essential oils, fragrance oils can be synthetic, natural, or blended to create stable and long-lasting scents.

They are widely used in DIY projects and commercial cosmetic production.

Fragrance oils are designed to provide consistent, long-lasting scents and often include synthetic components for stability. Essential oils are natural extracts derived from plants and may vary in scent strength and performance.

Fragrance oils typically offer stronger scent retention in soaps, candles, and cosmetic products.

Typically, you should add upto 2% fragrance oil based on the total weight of the melt and pour soap base as well as Liquid Soap bases. For example, for 1 kg of soap base, this would be approximately 5–20 grams of fragrance oil.

For Creams and Lotions, you may add 0.5% to 1% based on the total weight of your product.

Yes, fragrance oils can be blended to create custom scents. It is recommended to test small batches first to ensure compatibility and balanced aroma.

Blending allows you to create unique signature fragrances for personal or business use.

One of the most effective ways to improve fragrance longevity in soaps and cosmetic formulations is by using an encapsulated fragrance oil base.

Encapsulated fragrance oils contain fragrance molecules protected within microscopic capsules. These capsules shield the fragrance from heat, oxidation, and environmental exposure during formulation and storage. As the product is used, the capsules gradually release the scent, resulting in longer-lasting fragrance performance.
