What makes PureScent different from regular fragrance oils?

Every PureScent oil is checked against its safety data sheet before it carries the name. It contains no known carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxins at any amount, no added California Prop 65 chemicals, nothing on our PureScent Exclusion List, and no toxic acute or organ toxins at 1% or more. Like every fragrance oil we sell, it is phthalate-free, vegan, and never tested on animals.Want the general basics on fragrance oil first, like how it compares to essential oil and perfume oil?

What is the difference between PureScent and PureScent+?

PureScent+ meets every PureScent rule and contains no suspected ingredients. A suspected ingredient is one where early research has raised a possible concern that still needs further study. When a PureScent oil contains one, we name it on the product page. See PureScent vs PureScent+.

Can I use PureScent in soap and candles?

PureScent oils are tested in cold process and melt and pour soap. PureScent+ oils are tested in candles as well. Check the IFRA certificate on each product page for the usage limit in each category.

How does PureScent perform in cold process soap?

Every PureScent scent is tested in-house, with performance notes covering acceleration, discoloration, and scent retention over time, so you have a reliable baseline before you start. As with any fragrance oil, we still recommend running your own small test batch first, since results can vary with your specific base oils and additives.

Does PureScent still contain essential oils?

Yes. Many PureScent oils blend essential oils with synthetic fragrance components, since essential oils alone tend to fade quickly in soap and wax. Some essential oils naturally contain a suspected ingredient, such as gamma-terpinene in citrus oils. When they do, we name it on the product page.
