Sandalwood & Myrh Fragrance Oil, 10 ml

Fragrance oil Sandalwood & Myrrh adds a woody, balsamic scent with a warming character to soaps, deodorants, bath bombs and diffusers. The composition is of synthetic origin and serves a single purpose in a formulation: perfuming. It is handled the same way as other fragrance oils, added at the end to the cooled mass.

Fragrance character

The base is formed by the woody tone of sandalwood; myrrh adds a deeper, resinous note. The result is warming rather than sweet. The composition contains no components of natural origin, which should be taken into account if you want to label the finished product as natural.

Use in formulation

The fragrance oil is insoluble in water and dissolves in oil. In emulsions it is added during the cooling phase, when the mass has a temperature below 40 °C, to prevent the volatile fragrance components from unnecessarily evaporating. In anhydrous products (balms, body butters, oil serums) it is blended into the finished base. For water-based products such as tonics, refreshing sprays or water-based diffusers, a solubiliser is required; otherwise the fragrance will separate and form droplets on the surface.

In cold process soap the fragrance oil behaves calmly. In a practical test by a soap maker, the mass thickened slightly after adding the fragrance, without sudden solidification, and did not discolour. At a normal working pace, it can be poured into the mould and multicoloured patterns can be created. The fragrance just needs to be added shortly before pouring and blended in smoothly.

In bath bombs and salts, the fragrance oil is blended into the oil component or directly into the dry mixture before pressing. In household cleaning products, dishwashing products and fabric care, it is added to the finished product at the end of mixing. Here too, a solubiliser is required in water-based formulations.

Suitable for products such as

• Cold process and bar soaps – fragrance with no effect on the colour of the mass.
• Deodorants and antiperspirants – a woody scent that is neither sweet nor floral.
• Bath bombs and salts – the fragrance is released as it dissolves in water.
• Creams, balms and body butters – added to the cooled emulsion or to the finished anhydrous base.
• Diffusers and aromatherapy – with a solubiliser for water-based diffusers.
• Cleaning products, laundry and dishwashing – perfuming of household products.
• Intimate hygiene and decorative cosmetics – as a fragrance component.

Safety and labelling

The fragrance oil is classified under the CLP Regulation and contains hazardous substances. The packaging bears the pictograms GHS07 (irritant, sensitisation) and GHS09 (hazardous to the environment). Therefore, handle the concentrate with gloves and do not allow it to drain into the sewer in case of spillage. Details on safe handling can be found in the safety data sheet for the product.

The product contains one or more components classified as CMR; however, the composition as a whole does not have CMR classification.

The colour of the composition ranges from colourless to yellow. At higher dosage in white bases, we recommend checking the shade on a small sample.
