Can I Blend Fragrance Oils Together?

Start with a small test batch, layer oils at different ratios (try 1:1, then adjust to taste), and jot down what you used so you can repeat a winning combo.Not sure where to start? 101 Fragrance Blends on our blog rounds up customer-favorite pairings to help you find your first combination.

Are your fragrance oils safe for cold process soap?

Most are. Check the CP Soap tag and the individual product's Acceleration and Discoloration notes before use. Not every fragrance oil in this collection is CP-safe, so always confirm on the product page first.For tips on getting fragrance to hold up through trace, cure, and beyond, see Anchoring Fragrances in Cold Process Soap on our blog.

What do the PureScent and PureScent+ badges mean?

A green PureScent badge means the fragrance meets our PureScent standard, which leaves out ingredients we've chosen to avoid, like phthalates. PureScent+ is our strictest tier and goes further still. See PureScent vs PureScent+ for exactly what each tier excludes, or shop them all in our PureScent collection.

Why Does My Fragrance Oil Bottle Look Like It's Not Full?

Our fragrance oils are filled by weight, not volume, so a 4 oz bottle contains a full 4 oz by weight. Since fragrance oils are denser than water, that weight can take up less physical space in the bottle than 4 fluid ounces of water would, so the fill line may look lower than expected even though you received the full amount you ordered.

What's the difference between a Fragrance Oil and a Fragrance Blend?

A straight Fragrance Oil is a single synthetic or blended scent profile. A Fragrance Blend combines fragrance oil with real essential oils for added depth and a more natural character.
