Candle Fragrance Forest Berries, 1 L

Candle Fragrance Forest Berries: A Burst of Nature for Your Cosmetic Creations

"Candle Fragrance Forest Berries" is a concentrated fragrance oil designed to evoke the fresh, sweet, and slightly tart aroma of wild berries found in a forest. While originally intended for candle making, this fragrance oil can be adapted for use in certain cosmetic applications, provided specific safety guidelines and usage rates are strictly adhered to. It is crucial to distinguish between fragrance oils designed solely for candles and those specifically formulated for cosmetic use. This description pertains to a fragrance oil adaptable for cosmetic applications, emphasizing the need for careful consideration and dilution.

Why Consider Forest Berries Fragrance Oil for Cosmetics (with caution)?

• Evocative Aroma: Captures the complex scent of mixed forest berries, including notes of strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and often a touch of forest greenery. This can add a pleasant and natural fragrance to certain cosmetic products.
• Versatility (with limitations): Can be incorporated into specific cosmetic formulations, primarily those that are wash-off or have low skin contact time, such as soaps and bath products.
• Sensory Experience: Enhances the sensory experience of cosmetic products by providing a pleasant and uplifting fragrance.

Applications of Forest Berries Fragrance Oil in Cosmetics (with strict limitations):

Due to the concentrated nature of fragrance oils and potential skin sensitivities, usage in cosmetics is limited to specific product types and low concentrations:

• Soaps (Cold Process, Hot Process, Melt & Pour): Can be used to scent soaps, providing a pleasant fragrance during use.
• Bath Products (Bath Bombs, Bath Salts, Bubble Baths): Suitable for adding fragrance to bath products that are diluted in water.
• Body Scrubs (Wash-off): Can be used in oil-based or emulsified body scrubs that are rinsed off the skin.

Detailed Breakdown of Cosmetic Applications (with important safety notes):

• Soaps: The fragrance oil blends well with soap bases and provides a lasting scent. It's crucial to test the fragrance oil in a small batch of soap first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration or acceleration of the saponification process.
• Bath Products: The fragrance disperses well in bathwater, creating a pleasant aromatic experience. It's important to use a solubilizer (e.g., Polysorbate 20) to help the fragrance oil mix evenly with the water and prevent it from pooling on the surface.
• Body Scrubs: The fragrance enhances the sensory experience of using a body scrub. Ensure the scrub is thoroughly rinsed off to minimize prolonged skin contact.

Recommendations for Use (Crucial Safety Information):

• Dilution is Mandatory: Fragrance oils are highly concentrated and must be diluted before use in any cosmetic application. The recommended maximum concentration for wash-off products is generally 1-2%, but it's crucial to consult the fragrance oil manufacturer's safety data sheet (SDS) for specific recommendations.  
• Skin Contact Time: This fragrance oil is not recommended for leave-on products like lotions, creams, or facial serums due to the risk of skin irritation and sensitization. Use is strictly limited to wash-off products with minimal skin contact time.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before using any product containing fragrance oil.
• Solubilization: When using fragrance oils in bath products, a solubilizer is essential to ensure proper dispersion in water.
• IFRA Standards: Ensure the fragrance oil complies with IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards for safe use in cosmetics.
• Manufacturer’s Recommendations: Always consult the fragrance oil manufacturer's SDS for specific usage instructions and safety information.
