Salted Kettle Corn Fragrance Oil
Forget the typical movie theatre snack. This is rich, salty and addictive. Warm corn kernels and hot melted butter on a cast iron kettle, the caramelized sugar and sea salt hit you all at once. Resistance is pointless!
Description
Salted Kettle Corn Fragrance Oil
What it smells like and what it does in a base
Forget the movie theatre. This is a cast iron kettle over heat — corn popping in melted butter, sugar caramelising on the outside of it, and a hard hit of sea salt over the top. Rich, salty and sweet all at once, and more addictive than it has any right to be.
For the formulator this is the one to read the numbers on before you plan anything. It is the most restricted oil in the collection: IFRA caps it at 0.400% across every skin category, which is below the allowance of nearly every base we sell. It is also not suitable for cold process soap. Vanillin is low at 1.6%, so colour is not your problem here — headroom is.
Guilty Pleasures
A fall and winter collection with no pumpkin, no spiced leaf and no cider stand — built on sugar, dairy and fried dough instead. Salted Kettle Corn is the savoury corner of it: the only one with real salt in the profile, and the one with the least room to move.
Scent architecture
How the fragrance unfolds — use this to write your own product copy
Tagged for a child audience as well as unisex. That is a marketing descriptor rather than a safety clearance — the 0.400% ceiling below applies regardless of who the product is for, and Class 3 covers baby creams and lotions at that same figure.

Category maxima across our 86 bases. Facial and tear-free versions sit lower than the body version of the same base, and five of our sulfate-free bases specify a different load for vanillin-containing fragrances — which this is. Always take the figure from the base product page you are actually using, or see the full reference table.

Certified by Essentials by Catalina, Inc. under the 48th Amendment of the IFRA safety guidelines. The 48th uses eleven numbered classes; the 51st Amendment splits several of them into 5A–5D, 7A/7B, 10A/10B and 11A/11B and adds Category 12 for candles. Figures do not map one-to-one between the two, so do not compare this table against a 51st Amendment certificate row by row.

Pure & undiluted
Why our oils behave differently from most
Many suppliers sell fragrance oils cut with carrier oils or diluents to reduce cost. Ours are concentrated, pure, undiluted and cosmetic grade. A concentrated oil means a lower fragrance load per batch — a little goes a long way, and your cost per unit drops even when the per-ounce price does not.
Product compatibility is not the responsibility of Essentials By Catalina, Inc. We strongly advise sampling before committing to larger quantities so you can evaluate performance, compatibility and safety in your own formulation. Keep all products out of children's reach.
