Forest Berry Jam Fragrance Oil, 100 ml

Forest fruit jam fragrance oil

Forest fruit jam fragrance oil is a fragrance composition with a sweet fruity scent reminiscent of cooked forest berry jam – blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. It serves as a fragrance component: it rounds off the sensory experience of the finished product without affecting its function. Choose it when you want to give bath or body cosmetics a distinctive, warm fruity note with a gourmand character.

It is a cosmetic-grade composition of European origin, suitable for a wide range of rinse-off and leave-on cosmetics.

Key features

• Fruity gourmand profile – a sweet forest fruit scent for products where the fragrance is meant to be a prominent feature (bath and shower cosmetics, decorative products).
• Wide range of uses – suitable for rinse-off and leave-on formulations, from soaps and shower gels to body lotions.
• Soluble in oil and alcohol – mixes easily with the oil phase and with alcohol; in water-based systems it needs a solubiliser.
• Paraben-free – not tested on animals, free from animal-derived materials.

Use in formulations

Add the fragrance oil during the cool-down phase, once the temperature of the mixture drops below 40 °C. Fragrance components are volatile and sensitive to heat, so adding it to the hot phase means losing part of the scent and changing its character. In emulsions, therefore, work it in only shortly before finishing, when the mixture is lukewarm.

Because it is soluble in oil and alcohol, it binds naturally to the oil phase of emulsions, to anhydrous oil blends and to alcohol bases. Do not add it directly to purely water-based systems (clear toners, water-based sprays) – without a solubiliser it will not dissolve and will remain separated. First pre-mix it with a solubiliser (e.g. Polysorbate 20) in a ratio that you check on a small sample.

Suitable for products such as

• Solid and liquid soaps, shower gels – the fruity profile works well in rinse-off cosmetics, where the fragrance is the main experience.
• Bath bombs and salts – solubility in oil and alcohol allows easy incorporation into anhydrous bath products.
• Body lotions and oils – in leave-on care it rounds off the gourmand character; keep to a lower usage rate and mind skin tolerance.
• Lip balms – the fragrance is permitted in IFRA category 1 (lip products); stir it into the melted oil and wax mixture just before pouring.
• Decorative cosmetics and hobby crafts – candles, art and craft products where a distinctive fruity note is required.

For each category, check the specific IFRA limit – the maximum safe usage rate differs significantly between product types (e.g. lip products vs. candles).

You can find more fragrances that can also be used in lip products in the category Fragrance oils suitable for lip balms.

Good to know

This is a mixture classified under CLP with the GHS07 warning pictogram (irritant, sensitisation, mild toxicity) and containing fragrance allergens listed in Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. Two practical consequences follow: where threshold values are exceeded, the allergens present must be declared on the label of the finished product, and you should use appropriate protection when handling the concentrate.

The fragrance has its own yellowish colour, so in light or clear formulations allow for a possible slight tint to the mixture. We always recommend making a small test batch and assessing both the final scent and the appearance, as the result depends on the specific base.
