Tips for Small Businesses Using Fragrance Oil

  • Start smart: Order sample kits first to test which scents work best for your target customers. This saves money and helps you focus on what’s most popular.
  • Repackaging for profit: Buy in wholesale quantities and repackage into smaller sizes. This can significantly increase your profit margins while giving customers convenient sizing options.
  • Label compliance: When making body products, always include proper usage instructions and safety warnings. Let customers know to do patch tests and avoid contact with their eyes.
  • Create themed collections: Group scents into collections like "Relaxing Spa Blends" or "Luxury Inspired" to make shopping easier and increase average order size.
  • Tell the story: Highlight the African origins and ethical sourcing in your marketing. This creates an emotional connection and justifies premium pricing.

How to Use Our Fragrance Oil

  • For body products: Always dilute fragrance oils with carrier oils. A good starting point is a 2-3% fragrance oil to carrier oil ratio for body applications.
  • For candles: If you want to make candles with fragrance oils, you should always follow your wax manufacturer's guidelines, but typically, 6-10% fragrance oil works well for most candle waxes.
  • For room sprays: If using fragrance oil to make room spray, make sure to mix the oil with distilled water and a small amount of alcohol or witch hazel as an emulsifier.
  • Storage tips: Keep oils in dark, cool places to preserve their scent strength. Properly stored oils can last 2-3 years.
  • Safety first: Always provide safety information to your customers, including proper dilution rates and usage instructions.
