Fragrance Oils for Lotion Making

Part of the fun and creativity of making your own lotion is getting to choose the scents that you include in your project. Not all fragrances are the same, though. Fragrance oils are artificial chemicals made from aromatic compounds that are combined to create wonderful scents. In fact, using fragrance oils can give you scents that aren’t available in essential oils, like lilac, rose, and apple. So while fragrance oils are a wonderful tool in the maker’s toolbox, you also want to make sure that the oils you’re using are safe for application on your skin. Remember, you should never use fragrance oils directly on your skin without diluting them in a product or with a carrier oil. That’s why we make sure that the fragrance oils that we recommend for use in DIY lotions and butters are safe, and we make sure that you have that information too. On each product page you’ll find recommendations about which oils can be used for which projects. We also provide access to potential allergen reports and Safety Data Sheets. We want to make sure that you have the information that you need to make the choices about what’s right for you, your friends, and your family. We care that your products aren’t just wonderful and indulgent, but safe too! Adding scents to lotions and other skincare products makes using them a more indulgent and luxurious experience. Studies show that smells can trigger memories, can make us feel calm, and can energize us. Fragrance is a great way to practice self-care. What better way to incorporate aromatherapy into your life than through products you use and enjoy every day? So take a look through our skin-safe fragrance oils for making lotion and find the one that will give you the most luxurious experience, whether it’s for after shower moisturizing or daily use. We have one that’s perfect for you or for your friends and family, and we’re sure you’ll find your new favorite.
