Adding Fragrance Oil to Body Oil

Yes, you can add fragrance oil to body oil to give it a scent. What is often referred to as "Flavoring oil" in the context of body products is typically cosmetic-grade "Fragrance oil".

Body oils, such as Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) Light (26cst) or Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) Very Light (15cst), serve as an excellent base for adding fragrance. These oils are emollients that help soften and smooth the skin.

You can choose from a variety of fragrance oils to scent your body oil, such as Strawberry (Fragrance Oil), Jasmine Fragrance Oil, or Neroli Fragrance Oil).

Important Considerations:

• Use Cosmetic Grade: Ensure the fragrance oil you use is specifically formulated and safe for cosmetic application on the skin.
• Follow Usage Rates: Fragrance oils are concentrated. Always follow the recommended usage rate for body oils to avoid skin irritation or sensitization. The typical usage rate for fragrance oil in body oil is usually low, often ranging from 0.5% to 2%. Start with a small amount and add more if needed.
• Mixing: Fragrance oil should be mixed directly into the body oil base.

By using cosmetic-grade fragrance oil at appropriate concentrations, you can easily create a scented body oil.
