Using Essential Oils and Fragrance Blends in Facial Skincare

Thank you for your questions regarding the use of Orange Blossom Flower Absolute and fragrance blends in facial skincare.

Calculating Usage Amount

Formulation calculations are always based on percentages relative to the total weight of the batch, regardless of the batch size. This allows for easy scaling.

If you want to achieve a concentration of 0.1% pure Orange Blossom Flower Absolute in your final serum, and you are using a 10% diluted stock of the absolute:

For a 100g batch of serum:

• You need 0.1g of pure Orange Blossom Flower Absolute (0.1% of 100g).
• Since your stock is a 10% dilution (meaning 10g of dilution contains 1g of pure absolute, or 1g of dilution contains 0.1g of pure absolute), you will need 1g of your 10% diluted Orange Blossom Flower Absolute stock to get 0.1g of the pure absolute.

So, for a 100g serum batch, add 1g of your 10% diluted Orange Blossom Flower Absolute.

Orange Blossom Flower Absolute

Orange Blossom Flower Absolute is extracted using solvent extraction. The product itself is considered 100% grade absolute. It is suitable for use in facial skincare products.

Absolutes are highly concentrated and potent. Diluting them into a working stock, such as your 10% dilution, is a common practice. This makes measuring small amounts for formulations easier and more accurate, especially when aiming for low usage percentages like 0.1%.

Bescents Blend Products (e.g., Neroli Fragrance Oil, Orange Flower Bouquet)

Regarding the composition of Bescents Blend products like Neroli Fragrance Oil and Orange Flower Bouquet, the manufacturer does not provide detailed information on whether they are composed solely of pure essential oils, a mix of essential oils and synthetics, or entirely synthetic fragrances designed to mimic natural scents.

However, these blend products are confirmed to be safe for use in facial skincare formulations. The recommended maximum usage level for these blends in facial products is typically not exceeding 1%. Always start with a lower concentration and test for skin compatibility.
