Fresh Breeze Fragrance Oil, 500 ml

Fresh breeze fragrance oil – freshness for soaps, baths and cosmetics

This is a fragrance composition with a fresh, clean scent that gives products the light character of a “fresh breeze”. Its main role is fragrancing – it brings scent into the recipe without affecting the functional part of the formulation. Reach for it when you want to finish a product with a fresh, unobtrusive note suitable for a whole range of cosmetics and household products.

It is based on a synthetic fragrance blend of European origin. Thanks to the synthetic composition, the scent is more stable between batches and easier to predict than with natural essential oils, which is particularly useful for repeated production.

Key properties

• Oil- and alcohol-soluble – the blend mixes into the oil and alcohol phases and does not dissolve in water. This determines which systems you can add it to and how much of it to use.
• Fragrance component for the cooling phase – it is added cold, after the emulsion has cooled, which limits the loss of volatile components of the scent.
• Wide range of uses – from skincare through soaps and bath bombs to diffusers, laundry and cleaning products.
• Subject to CLP and IFRA – the usage rate depends on the product category and you need to allow for the declaration of allergens.

Use in formulations

The fragrance oil is incorporated into the oil or alcohol phase, or into anhydrous and oil bases, where it dissolves well. It cannot be added directly to water-based systems (toners, pure aqueous solutions) – it requires a carrier, most often an oil, alcohol or solubiliser (e.g. Polysorbate 20); otherwise it will not dissolve in the water phase and will form droplets.

It is added only at the end of production, in the cooling phase at a temperature below 40 °C. A higher temperature speeds up the evaporation of fresh, volatile notes, and the scent in the finished product appears weaker and less true.

In cold process soap, the fragrance behaved as follows in a practical test by an experienced soap maker: after it was added, the batter thickened faster than with most other fragrances, but the consistency did not seize and resembled warm pudding – the batter could still be worked and poured comfortably. For this reason, add the fragrance just before pouring and work quickly so that you can pour the batter into the moulds before it sets too much.

Suitable for products such as

• Soaps – solid (including cold process, bearing in mind the faster thickening of the batter) and liquid.
• Bath bombs and bath salts – the fresh scent works well in bath cosmetics.
• Diffusers and aromatherapy – thanks to its solubility in alcohol and oil.
• Body and facial cosmetics – creams, lotions and oils, observing the IFRA limits for the relevant category.
• Laundry, cleaning products and textile care – for fragrancing household products.

Good to know when formulating

The fragrance is classified under CLP (GHS07 pictogram) and contains sensitising substances, so work with it according to the safety data sheet (SDS) and at the recommended usage rate. It also contains fragrance allergens under Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (as amended by Regulation (EU) 2023/1545), which must be listed in the ingredient list of the finished product when the threshold values are exceeded.
