All of our fragrance oils are vegan friendly, cruelty free and paraben free. 

Please refer to the SDS for each fragrance for information on phthalates.

Please refer to the PDF files at the bottom of every fragrance page for the SDS, IFRA and Allergen Declarations.

There are also template labels available for candles, diffusers and melts.  These templates show all of the information you must have on your product.

Our fragrances have been created in line with IFRA standards, which are there to ensure the safe use of fragrances ingredients, however; IFRA’s standards are aimed at humans, and they do not produce standards regarding the safety of suitability of fragrance ingredients in relation to pets. We recommend contacting a veterinarian with any concerns or for advice.

Some of our fragrances do carry this hazard in their raw form. Once diluted, this hazard is no longer applicable. If ever in doubt, check the 8% or 10% SDS that is available via the website for hazards applicable to your candles or wax melts. In any case, we recommend using the appropriate PPE when handling ALL fragrances.

Essential oils are made from natural ingredients using processes such as steam distillation and solvent extraction. The intention is to capture the "essence" of the plants.

Fragrance oils are made from synthetic fragrance molecules. Although they are man-made, many synthetic molecules are identical to molecules found in nature, but many more are designed by fragrance chemists to give specific aromas that can be used to produce unique and novel fragrance oils.

Both essential oils and fragrance oils are blends of many different types of fragrance molecules.

Nature-derived fragrances are complex compounds, derived from natural aromatics extracted from nature including trees, plants, and flowers, that also include a small amount of replicated natural accords harnessed without harming the environment.

These natural accords are processed from natural sources by physical or biotechnical procedures to harness the ingredients and consist of materials that can be physically isolated from plants through distillation expression and extraction.

Nature-derived materials can be extracted from plants - one oil can have several different isolates from several plants.

Essential oils can have different viscosity than fragrance oils as they are made from natural ingredients, while fragrance oils mainly contain synthetic components. As natural oils tend to be more viscous, we recommend using them at a lower ratio.

If you are looking to make a candle using essential oils, we advise testing your candles with 6-8% oil, while 15% would be a good starting point for your diffusers, subject to any IFRA or CLP restrictions.

If you prefer fragrance oils, you can start testing your candles with 8-10% but you can add up to 14% in some plant waxes, and our recommended diffuser ratio is 15-20% subject to any IFRA or CLP restrictions.

Please always check the IFRA conformity certificate on the product page for each essential oil or fragrance oil, as all oils have maximum permitted percentages for candles, diffusers and rom sprays under IFRA/CLP guidelines.

For concentrated fragrance oils, you can use a lower percentage of oil and still get excellent cold and hot throw. Depending on your wax, our recommended ratio is 3-5% for candles, whilst with diffusers we would advise you to start testing with 8-10%.

The choice of wick will depend on which wax is being used. LX or TG wicks work well with mineral waxes. Stabilo, CL, V, TB, ECO or PGS wicks can be used with mineral or vegetable blends, while VRL wicks are suited to blends containing a high percentage of plant wax.

Overwicking can cause larger flames which can then form larger melt pools and generate more soot. Overwicking is the term used to describe the use of a larger wick than necessary for a particular candle.
