Fragrance Oil – Cucumber

Fragrance oils play a key role in making handmade soap and candles. Makers blend these oils to add creativity and unique scents to their products.

Unlike essential oils that come from plants, fragrance oils use both natural and synthetic ingredients. This mix creates a wide range of scents.

Soap and candle makers prefer fragrance oils because they hold their scent during every step of the process. The smell lasts long after the product is finished. Makers can craft special fragrances that stand out.

Getting the right fragrance oil amount is important. For candles, use 2% to 7% by total wax weight. A higher percentage gives a stronger scent. For “leave on” products like body lotions or soy massage candles, keep it at 0.5%. For “wash off” items like shampoos, use between 0.5% and 2%.

Always follow recommended levels. Fragrance oils stay skin-safe when used in the right amounts. This ensures a great scent and safe use.
