Absolutely in love with this scent! Smells exactly the same as palmers cocoa butter which I use to moisturise and love. So I decided to try this in my new candle range and people love it! I will be continuing…

Questions

Common questions

What does Cocoa Butter fragrance oil smell like?

Creamy and sweet with cocoa butter, toffee, chocolate, vanilla, and soft musk undertones. Heart: cocoa butter, toffee, chocolate, cream. Base: vanilla, musk.

How much Cocoa Butter fragrance oil do I need for a candle?

Use 5–10% of the candle’s total weight. For a 200g candle that’s 10–20g of Cocoa Butter (about 9–18ml). There is no IFRA limit for candles. The calculator above works it out for any size.

How much Cocoa Butter should I use in wax melts?

Use 5–10% – that’s 5–10g of fragrance oil for every 100g of finished melts. Check the maximum your wax can hold.

Can I use Cocoa Butter in a reed diffuser?

We don’t recommend it. The IFRA maximum for reed diffusers is only 1.88%, which is too low for a good scent throw.

Can I use Cocoa Butter in soap, lotion or perfume?

  • Soap: yes – 3–4.17% (IFRA maximum 4.17%)
  • Body lotion: yes – 0.5–1.5% (IFRA maximum 3.77%)
  • Face cream: yes – 0.1–0.5% (IFRA maximum 0.92%)
  • Perfume: yes – 5–13.91% (IFRA maximum 13.91%)
  • Lip balm: not suitable

Soap, lotion and perfume are cosmetics, so each one needs a safety assessment (CPSR) before you sell it.

Is Cocoa Butter fragrance oil hazardous?

Undiluted, Cocoa Butter is classified under GB CLP with the signal word Warning:

  • H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
  • H361 Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.
  • H412 Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

Candles, wax melts and diffusers you make with it may need their own CLP label. Full details are in the Safety Data Sheet.

Is Cocoa Butter fragrance oil flammable?

No. Its flash point is >100°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.

Will Cocoa Butter discolour my wax?

It may. Cocoa Butter contains vanillin (0.2%), which can turn wax, soap and other bases cream to brown over time. Test before bulk pouring – see our vanillin guide.

Is there a CLP label for Cocoa Butter?

Yes. Our free CLP label creator makes a ready-to-print label for candles and wax melts made with Cocoa Butter. Safety Data Sheets, IFRA certificates and label files are in the documents above.

Are your fragrance oils vegan?

Yes. All are 100% vegan with no animal-derived ingredients.

Can I use Cocoa Butter in an electric diffuser or oil burner?

Yes.

  • Electric water diffusers (ultrasonic or humidifier style) – fill the tank with water to the line, then add 3–5 drops per 100ml of water. Start low and add more to taste.
  • Oil burners – mix 50/50 with dipropylene glycol (DPG), or add a few drops to water in the well.

Important – look after your diffuser:

  • Fragrance oils are concentrated, and some plastics used in diffuser tanks can soften, cloud or crack if oil is left sitting in them. This depends on the plastic the diffuser is made from. It happens with any concentrated fragrance or essential oil, not just ours.
  • Empty the tank when you’ve finished. Don’t leave water and oil sitting in it between uses.
  • Rinse and wipe the tank every few uses, as fragrance oils can leave a film.
  • Check your diffuser’s instructions to make sure it is suitable for fragrance oils. If it says essential oils only, or doesn’t say, ask the maker before using it.

How do I use the 100ml bottles?

They include a blind plug to prevent leaks in transit. Either pierce the centre with a pin or biro to use it as a dropper, or remove the stopper, pour, and replace the plug.
