Commonly known as mulled wine, wassail has evoked the festive spirit and good cheer of Christmas for centuries. Our Wassail fragrance oil is a warm and inviting blend of oranges, lemons, apple cider, and cranberries. A classically nostalgic scent perfect for upscale holiday candle lines.
This fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils, including orange, cedarwood, and buchu.
Clean Scent standards are rigorous, and they exclude many materials that are ubiquitous in other suppliers’ fragrance oils. You may already be familiar with our exclusion of phthalates, but we also exclude materials with similar health concerns, including those on California’s Prop 65 list. Materials known to be carcinogens in California aren’t any safer elsewhere! And if you’re a business outside of CA but selling handmade products online, your products will likely be bought within the state. With CandleScience Clean Scents, you don’t need to worry about Prop 65 labeling. More importantly, you don’t need to worry if these fragrances are safe for your home.
The Catalyst
Historically, the fragrance industry has never been transparent about safety. Lack of disclosure from fragrance manufacturers regarding ingredients and the possible health risks of those ingredients was the norm.
The landscape is quite different in 2020. From established indy brands to new hobbyists, fragrance consumers are doing their own research and becoming better informed about the products they make, sell, and enjoy in their homes. You expect accurate safety information from suppliers and accessible language about ingredients that don’t require a science degree to understand and translate to your customers. You expect products that give you peace of mind.
The industry has been slow to meet this expectation, but we saw an opportunity to take the lead in 2015. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, better known as OSHA, adopted and began enforcing labeling requirements from the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, or GHS. This set of GHS requirements, now enforced by OSHA, requires the disclosure of potential hazards of a substance in a commercial facility and for purposes related to shipping.
While not designed for fragrance safety specifically, this presented the opportunity to demand more information about the materials and ingredients that made up our fragrances. The information we discovered empowered our deep dive into the science behind fragrance, the materials within fragrance, and the effects those materials have on human health.
