Bali Body Spa Fragrance Oil, 10 ml

Bali Body Spa fragrance oil is a fragrance composition that you can use to scent cosmetics, candles and diffusers. In a formulation it has a single role: it gives the finished product its fragrance. It is added in an amount that you determine according to the type of product and the IFRA limit for its category.

It is suitable for body care and for shower and bath products, where it is intended for both rinse-off and leave-on products. The same composition can also be used in candles and diffusers, so you can match the fragrance of a whole series of products for the home and bathroom from a single bottle.

Character and properties

The composition is soluble in oils and in alcohol and does not dissolve in water. It can therefore be incorporated directly into anhydrous products and into the oil phase of emulsions. Water-based toners, sprays and bath salts with a water content need a solubiliser or a carrier.

The colour ranges from colourless to yellow. With white or very light products, it is worth checking on a small sample whether the chosen usage rate causes slight discolouration. Compatibility with common cosmetic bases is unrestricted, but as with any fragrance, stability in a specific formulation should be confirmed with a test batch.

Usage rate according to IFRA

There is no single universal usage rate. The manufacturer does not state a recommended range, and the maximum permitted amount in the finished product is determined by the IFRA limit for the category to which the product belongs. Body creams, oils and lotions fall under category 5A, shower gels, shampoos and soaps under category 9, lip products under category 1, and candles under category 12.

You can find the limits for all categories in the IFRA certificate in the Product documentation section. Within the limit, you can then set the fragrance intensity according to your own preference and the type of product.

Use in formulations

In emulsions, the fragrance oil is added in the cool-down phase, when the cream or lotion has a temperature below 40 °C. The lower temperature protects the volatile components of the composition. After adding it, a short stir until evenly dispersed is enough.

In body and massage oils, it is mixed directly into the oil blend at room temperature. With shower gels, shampoos and liquid soaps, check on a sample whether the mixture stays clear and keeps its viscosity at the chosen usage rate. In water-based toners and sprays, the composition is first dissolved in alcohol or incorporated with a solubiliser, otherwise it separates on the surface.

For candles, the category 12 limit applies, and for diffusers the relevant category according to the IFRA certificate. We recommend testing the fragrance strength when burning and the behaviour in your chosen wax or carrier on a single test candle or bottle.

Suitable for products such as

• Body lotions and creams – leave-on products of category 5A, the fragrance is added to the cooled emulsion below 40 °C.
• Body and massage oils – an anhydrous base in which the composition dissolves directly without any auxiliary ingredients.
• Shower gels, shampoos and liquid soaps – rinse-off products of category 9 with their own limit in the certificate.
• Bath salts and body scrubs – the fragrance is pre-mixed with an oil component or carrier and only then combined with the salt or sugar.
• Candles and diffusers – one composition for bathroom products whose fragrance matches your cosmetics.
