Dark Strawberry Truffle Fragrance Oil

Sun-ripened strawberries cooked down into a tart ganache, wrapped in a dark chocolate rich enough to feel heavy. The fruit stays bright rather than turning jammy, and the chocolate underneath it is bitter enough to keep the whole thing from reading as candy. No way are you sharing.

For the formulator, read the compatibility line before you plan anything: this oil is not cleared for cold process soap, so melt and pour is your only soap route. Everything else is open to it, candles included. Inside that envelope it is unusually easy — the IFRA ceilings are generous, body lotion sits at 9.01% against a 1% base allowance — but at ~9% vanillin and a 162 °F flashpoint it asks for a colour plan and a careful warm phase.

The shortest note list in the collection, and that is the point — three materials doing one idea cleanly. It is also the oil that carries the collection through February, which is the second gifting peak the season is planned around.

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.

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.
