Fragrance Oils normally are made up of a number of synthetic imitations of essential oils creating a fragrance that will smell like a flower, herb, plant or other fragrance.

This grade of oil may be applied to the skin when blended with other ingredients but is not suggested for direct application to the body as a perfume oil. No artificial coloring is added to the Manufacturers grade oil.

Body Oils should only be used for direct application on the skin (not blended with other products) or as a burning oil, Premium grade oil can also be used for these purposes. Body oil is not designed for blending with soap bases or candle waxes. Some body oils contain FD&C coloring. Therefore apple is red, blueberry is blue and so on.

Do not use body oils for melt and pour soap, cold process soap or candle making. Please use either premium grade or manufacturers grade fragrance oils.
