Your Most Common Questions Answered!
Can I use your fragrance oils for other applications?
Our Fragrances oils are sold primarily for the use in candles, wax melts, reed diffusers, air fresheners and room sprays.
They are not formulated specifically for use in any cosmetics, soaps, bath bombs, or perfumery. If you wish to use our fragrance oils in cosmetics and perfumes, you are required by law to have them tested for suitability before you sell them to the public.
Please see the IFRA certificate for the maximum % of oil used for each application. The IFRA certificate is available to download under the data sheet tab on each fragrance product page.
Can I blend fragrance oils?
Blending fragrances together is a great way to refine your smell palette. When it comes to blending fragrances however, there are a few things that you will need to keep in mind. Due to regulations, you have to ensure that you have a new SDS (safety data sheet) for your new fragrance blend, this new SDS will then allow you to create a new CLP label for your product. Read our blog about blending fragrances here to find out more.
Are your fragrances vegan and cruelty free?
All of our Fragrance Oils are Vegan and Cruelty Free and are also free from parabens! Which means you can craft completely ethical, cost effective and top quality candles and wax melts!
Can I use glitter, mica or botanicals in my candles?
No! We do not recommend using any of our mica powders, glitters, botanicals or florals inside a wax candle. The base substance of our glitter is PET plastic, so if they come into contact with very high heat they could melt possibly causing unpleasant fumes to be omitted. Similar with botanicals, florals and other forgein objects, they can act as a second flame and cause too much heat to be omitted from your candle. Mica powders can clog your wick leading to a buildup of carbon, which is also a fire hazard. The only ingredients in your candle should be wax, dye and fragrance oil or essential oil.
Which bases are hazardous?
Our waxes, Isopropyl Myristate Perfume/Room Spray Base and Plugin Diffuser Base are all non-hazardous and therefore do not require a CLP label.
Our Augeo Reed Diffuser Base is hazardous and is required on your CLP label, if using alongside a fragrance, you will need to create a combined CLP label.
Do you offer samples?
We currently do not offer samples of our products, however, we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality oils and guarantee we will never be beaten on quality. We are so confident, we will provide full refunds for any oil returned to us, if no more than 25 ml of oil has been used!
