Bring the cozy, inviting spirit of autumn to your creations with our Autumn Fig Harvest Fragrance Oil, a captivating scent crafted in the USA.

If you're looking to infuse your products with the rich, comforting aromas of fall, this is an absolute must-have for your collection.
Description and Key Features
Autumn Fig Harvest Fragrance Oil is a complex and evocative blend designed to transport you to a picturesque autumn landscape. This liquid fragrance offers a harmonious symphony of notes that create a truly unique and inviting aroma:
- Top Notes: Crisp apples, bright lemon, and zesty ginger provide an uplifting and fresh opening.
- Mid Notes: The heart unfolds with the sweet, distinctive aroma of fig, complemented by rich caramel, warm cinnamon, and a hint of robust coffee.
- Base Notes: Deep, grounding notes of twigs and woods complete the scent profile, adding an authentic autumnal depth.
This fragrance oil boasts excellent solubility in a variety of bases, including alcohols (ethanol, propylene glycol, perfumer's alcohol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, isopropyl myristate, diethyl phthalate), ensuring clear and stable solutions. It also mixes perfectly with oils, but is insoluble in water.
Important Note on Vanillin Content: This fragrance contains 7.5% vanillin. Vanillin can cause discoloration (browning or yellowing) in certain products, especially those with light or white bases. To prevent this, we highly recommend using a vanilla stabilizer in your formulations with this fragrance.

Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (heat-safe containers, stirring utensils, mixing bowl, jars) using isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
- Melt Phase A: In a heat-safe container, combine Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Fractionated Coconut Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil. Gently melt these ingredients using a double boiler or a microwave (in short bursts) until fully liquid and combined. Avoid overheating.
- Cool Slightly: Once melted, remove from heat and let the mixture cool down slightly, ideally to around 30-35°C (86-95°F). It should still be liquid but no longer hot.
- Prepare Fragrance Blend: In a separate small container, combine the Autumn Fig Harvest Fragrance Oil (1%) and the Vanilla Stabilizer (0.5%). Stir this blend thoroughly for 2-3 minutes. Remember to use this stabilized fragrance blend within 15 minutes.
- Add Phase B to Phase A: Add the prepared fragrance blend and Vitamin E Oil to the slightly cooled oil and butter mixture (Phase A). Stir well to ensure even distribution.
- Chill to Solidify: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes, or until it starts to solidify around the edges and becomes opaque, but is still soft enough to whip. It should have the consistency of soft butter.
- Whip the Body Butter: Remove from the refrigerator. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed for 5-10 minutes. It will become light, fluffy, and significantly increase in volume, resembling whipped cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically.
- Transfer to Jars: Carefully spoon the whipped body butter into clean, sterilized jars with airtight lids.
Recommendations for Application and Use:
- Optimal Dosing: The 1% inclusion of Autumn Fig Harvest Fragrance Oil provides a beautiful, noticeable scent without being overpowering. The 0.5% Vanilla Stabilizer is crucial for maintaining the body butter's light color given the fragrance's vanillin content.
- Application Method: Apply a small amount of body butter to clean, dry skin, focusing on areas prone to dryness like elbows, knees, and feet. Massage gently until absorbed.
- Storage: Store the finished body butter in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The stable nature of the butters and oils, combined with the vanilla stabilizer, will ensure its quality, but proper storage extends shelf life.
- Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner elbow) before full application to check for any sensitivities or allergic reactions.
- Consistency: The texture of whipped body butter can vary with temperature. If it becomes too soft in warm environments, you can briefly place it in the refrigerator to firm up.
- No Water Content: This recipe is anhydrous (contains no water), which naturally extends its shelf life without the need for a broad-spectrum preservative.
- Shelf Life: Properly stored, this body butter should last 6-12 months, depending on the shelf life of your individual ingredients.
