Questions
Common questions
What does Yuzu fragrance oil smell like?
Pure yuzu — bright, citrusy, and refreshing.
How much Yuzu 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 Yuzu (about 10–21ml). There is no IFRA limit for candles. The calculator above works it out for any size.
How much Yuzu 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 Yuzu in a reed diffuser?
Yes. Use 15–25% Yuzu in a reed diffuser base such as Augeo Clean Multi. The IFRA maximum is 47.75%. Ready-made reed diffuser CLP labels and an SDS are in the documents above.
Can I use Yuzu in soap, lotion or perfume?
- Soap: yes – 3–6% (IFRA maximum 47.75%)
- Body lotion: yes – 0.5–1.5% (IFRA maximum 5.96%)
- Face cream: yes – 0.1–0.5% (IFRA maximum 5.96%)
- Perfume: yes – 5–20% (IFRA maximum 23.87%)
- Lip balm: not suitable
Soap, lotion and perfume are cosmetics, so each one needs a safety assessment (CPSR) before you sell it.
Is Yuzu fragrance oil hazardous?
Undiluted, Yuzu is classified under GB CLP with the signal word Warning:
- H302 Harmful if swallowed.
- H315 Causes skin irritation.
- H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
- H319 Causes serious eye irritation.
- H410 Very toxic 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 Yuzu fragrance oil flammable?
No. Its flash point is 68°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.
Will Yuzu discolour my wax?
It’s unlikely. Yuzu contains no vanillin or ethyl vanillin, the most common cause of discolouration. Always test with your own wax and dyes.
Is Yuzu fragrance oil phthalate-free?
Yes – Yuzu is phthalate-free.
Is there a CLP label for Yuzu?
Yes. Our free CLP label creator makes a ready-to-print label for candles and wax melts made with Yuzu, and for reed diffusers. 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 Yuzu 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.
