Natural Fragrance Oil
Natural fragrances are complex compounds derived from natural aromatics that are extracted from plants without altering the chemical structure. They can be made from a blend of isolates, essential oils, absolutes, resins or waxes. We only use natural fragrances that are ISO 9235 Certified.
ISO 9235 defines natural aromatic raw materials as being physically obtained from plants using distillation, expression and extraction. Synthetically reconstituted essential oils, synthetic nature-identical and intentionally chemically modified natural raw materials (e.g. chemical acetylation of essential oil) cannot be used in fragrance compounds that are described as being natural.
The Natural Products Association does not permit the use of petrochemical solvents in the extraction process, therefore concentrates and absolutes made using hexane are also not permitted.
