If you find that the foil seal is raised even slightly, place the bottle in the fridge until you observe that the pressure has subsided. If you are unable to use a cooling method, use a cover like a rag and point away from your face to prevent any risk whilst breaking the seal. Always keep the fragrance bottles, whether sealed or unsealed, securely tightened and in a dark, cool place away from direct sunlight or other sources of heat.

Care must be taken when handling fragrance oils; they may damage or discolour surfaces. We recommend mixing in containers we provide as some plastic containers will react with the materials.

Take care to accurately follow instructions when adding fragrance as if the wax is too hot, the fragrance oil can vaporise, which can reduce your scent throw and in some circumstances lead to ignition. Please ensure you store your bottles in a cabinet, container or box to protect them from all light sources in a room that is kept cool and dry.

Please also keep them away from children and do not ingest them. The information available for fragrance safety and pregnancy is inconclusive. Testing on fragrances is limited to skin sensitivity only.

There is no data available on the effects on pregnant women. None of our fragrances contains phthalates or parabens, and none of the ingredients is animal derived. The flashpoint is the temperature at which a fragrance can combust if exposed to an open flame or spark. The lower the flashpoint, the easier it is to ignite the material.

Adding fragrance oil to wax that is above the flashpoint will not cause it to combust. The average shelf life of fragrance oil is about one year. It is dependent on time, temperature, and exposure to air and light.

Another variable is the shelf life of the raw materials used to make up the fragrance. If there are more natural ingredients in the formula, it can go bad more quickly. We recommend that you store fragrance oils in a cool dark place away from light and heat.

We recommend testing each fragrance in a candle before making a large batch if you need to let the oils sit for over one year.

The raw materials that go into fragrance oils can vary in price. Some are more expensive than others, and this affects the variation in cost. The raw materials that make up the fragrance oils can create a variance in colour.

Shelf life of fragrance oils. When properly stored, fragrance oils can have a shelf life of up to 2 years. A helpful tip would be to record the date you received an oil by marking the bottle with a marker pen. It is not recommended to keep a bottle partially full.

This is because the oxygen that is also in the bottle head space can react with the oil and oxidize it thus making its shelf life shorter. If possible you should move to a smaller bottle so less oxygen is present. Safety of fragrance oils. Handling fragrance oils. Fragrance oils should always be handled with the upmost care.

Thread starter ctay Start date Dec 13, Joined Mar 24, Messages Reaction score 0. Just a general question Do essential oils last longer than fragrance oils? I may have made a mistake buying large 8oz bottles of essential oils that I have not used yet and also I have leftover essential oils for holiday soaps that I have already made that I probably won't use again till next year.

If anyone has an answer or a link to answer this question, I would really appreciate it! Fragola Well-Known Member. Joined Sep 2, Messages Reaction score For EOs, you need to research on a case by case basis, it depends also on storage temperature, on whether the bottle is opened or not.

Hard to generalize.
