At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are passionate about helping you create wonderful products with our fragrance oils. Lemon Fragrance Oil, with its bright and cheerful aroma, is a favorite for many applications. To ensure you achieve the best results safely and effectively, here’s a guide to its proper usage.

Understanding the Basics:

  • Scent Profile: Our Lemon Fragrance Oil offers a clean, zesty, and uplifting citrus scent, reminiscent of freshly squeezed lemons.
  • Flash Point: Typically, our Lemon Fragrance Oil has a flash point above 190°F (88°C). This indicates it’s relatively stable under normal crafting temperatures, but always handle with care, especially when working with heat sources.
  • Vanillin Content: Our specific formulation has a low vanillin content, which minimizes the risk of discoloration in products like white soaps or candles. Always test your specific formulation, as other ingredients can interact with fragrance components.

Safe and Effective Usage:

  • Candle Making: We recommend using Lemon Fragrance Oil at a concentration of 3% to 10% in wax. Start with a lower percentage and test for scent throw. Ensure the fragrance is added to wax at the correct temperature as per your wax manufacturer’s guidelines.
  • Soap Making: For cold process soaps, our Lemon Fragrance Oil generally performs well. However, citrus notes can sometimes cause slight acceleration or discoloration. It’s crucial to test in a small batch first to observe its behavior in your specific soap recipe. For melt-and-pour soaps, it blends easily and provides a lovely scent. Always adhere to IFRA guidelines for skin-safe usage rates, which are typically between 2%-7.2% depending on the soap type.
  • Lotions and Body Care: When incorporating into lotions, body washes, or creams, follow the IFRA maximum usage levels, which are usually around 0.90% for leave-on products. Always conduct a skin patch test to ensure compatibility.
  • Home Fragrance: Use in diffusers, room sprays, or reed diffusers at appropriate concentrations for a refreshing home environment. For room sprays, start with a lower percentage and adjust as needed.

General Safety Precautions:

  • Dilution: While our fragrance oils are concentrated, they are intended for incorporation into products, not for direct skin application or ingestion.
  • Storage: Store fragrance oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain their quality and scent integrity.
  • Testing: Always perform small test batches before scaling up your projects. This helps you understand how the fragrance interacts with your base ingredients and achieve optimal scent performance.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing you with high-quality fragrance oils and the knowledge to use them effectively. By following these guidelines, you can confidently create beautiful, well-scented products that your customers will love.
