Fragrance Oil FAQ
Gracefruit Limited sells high quality cosmetic-grade fragrance oils which are not to be confused with perfumes. These fragrance oils are manufactured for use in bath and body applications and are not suitable for direct skin application.
Do you provide documentation for your fragrances?
Yes, we do. We provide both MSDS and Allergen declarations so as to comply with Amendment 7. All documents are in PDF format and can be downloaded directly from the site. If you are having trouble downloading, please let us know.
Are your fragrance oils tested for acceleration and discolouration?
Yes. We test every fragrance we sell. When cold process testing, we keep our temperatures low (at or below 100F) and never use a water discount. While we endeavour to give as much information as possible how each fragrance oil behaves in cold process soap, results can vary in different recipes, especially those high in olive pomace or animal fats. Our testing recipe contains equal parts olive pomace, rice bran, coconut, and avocado oils.
Can all of your fragrance oils be used in cosmetics and candles?
Cosmetics, yes. All of our fragrances are IFRA compliant, toiletry grade, and safe for both leave-on and rinse-off products. Most of our fragrances are suitable for use in candles as long as the flashpoint of the fragrance is over 80C. Please bear in mind that we do not test our fragrances in candles and cannot vouch for how well they will perform.
I don't like this fragrance. Can I return it?
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept returns on fragrance oil. To avoid disappointment, we advise you to purchase our 10ml size oils and test them before buying larger sizes. We test all of our oils in cold process soap, and will endeavour to provide you with as much information about each fragrance as possible.
Why do some of my bottles appear to be more full than others?
With the exception of our 10ml and 60ml sample sizes, we sell by weight and not volume, and because fragrance oils have different densities, they have different weights. For instance, our pear fragrance is very lightweight and fills most containers to the very top. Our vanilla bean fragrance is much heavier and leaves more empty space in the bottle. Please be assured you are receiving accurate amounts of fragrance oils. We only use Trading Standards-approved scales.
