Fragrance oils improve the aroma of homemade products like soaps, lotions, and candles. They provide a way to customize your creations and can be combined with other Bulk Apothecary ingredients, such as essential oils and dried botanicals. Purchasing fragrance and essential oils wholesale allows you to experiment with different scent combinations to match seasonal trends or customer preferences. Here is more information about some of the apothecary products we carry for soapmaking:
Fragrance Oils
When making homemade soap for personal use or a small business, choose fragrance oils that work well with your processing method. Some manufacturers formulate fragrance oils for use in cold-process soap, while others may be better suited for melt-and-pour soap. You will find oils for both processes at Bulk Apothecary. We carry over 1,000 different scents, making us one of the nation’s largest suppliers of fragrance oils. A few of the scents we carry include:
- Apple Cinnamon
- Coconut Ginger Almond
- Mountain Rain
- Oatmeal Milk and Honey
- Lemon Creme
- Caribbean Escape
We stock a variety of options for your soapmaking needs, including all-natural, vegan, and paraben-free blends. This allows you to create customized soaps that cater to different skin types and ethical preferences. Each product is blended by an experienced perfumer and manufactured following the Food and Drug Administration’s Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP).
Essential Oils
Essential oils offer another way to personalize the characteristics of your homemade soaps. Manufacturers derive these oils from plants, providing a natural way to scent your products. They can be combined to create unique scents and aromatic profiles. Some essential oils also have therapeutic properties, making them beneficial for the skin and mind. These include lavender, tea tree, peppermint, and lemon oil.
Add lavender to your homemade soaps to provide stress-relieving benefits. To help kill bacteria and reduce acne, use lemon and tea tree oil. Lemon oil is also beneficial for anxiety and depression, while peppermint oil has been shown to ease headaches and fight fatigue. Including essential oils in your soapmaking recipe may make your soaps more appealing to those looking for holistic skin care solutions.
At Bulk Apothecary, we stock certified organic, pure therapeutic grade, and ready-to-label essential oils. We also have a collection of premade oil blends for your convenience. These blends have been tested to make sure their scent profiles complement each other for the best results. You can purchase our essential oils wholesale to help you consistently create new soaps and fill customer orders.
Dried Botanicals
Dried botanicals allow you to vary the texture and color of your homemade soaps, enhancing their overall appearance. These ingredients range from vibrant petals to earthy leaves. Botanicals like lavender buds and crushed rose petals provide gentle exfoliation, which may help remove dead skin cells and keep the skin feeling smooth. They can also be added to soaps marketed as natural and eco-friendly.
Some florals have health benefits and a slight fragrance, which can affect the outcome of your soap creations. Calendula flowers are known for their healing and nurturing abilities. They provide a subtle scent and can have slight color variations, changing the appearance of your soap. You can also add chamomile flowers to give your soap a soft and calming aroma.
Seeds
Like dried botanicals, seeds have an exfoliating quality. Add them to your homemade soap bars to help scrub the skin when washing, or sprinkle them on top for a unique look. Bulk Apothecary carries many different seeds, including:
- Chia Seeds
- Milk Thistle Seeds
- Sesame Seeds
- Fennel Seeds
- Cardamom Seeds
- Caraway Seeds
Seeds are natural and biodegradable, making them an eco-friendly choice for adding texture and function to your soap. They can be used to create patterns, swirls, or layers within the soap. At Bulk Apothecary, we select our seeds to make sure they’re a suitable size for your crafted soaps.
Herbs and Spices
Herbs and spices are other natural ingredients that help add color, texture, and scent to your soaps. For a reddish-orange hue, include turmeric in your ingredient list. Stir in rosemary leaves for a natural scent, or add them on top as a decoration. To create themed soaps, combine the herb or spice with its corresponding essential oil, such as lavender with dried lavender buds or cinnamon with ground cinnamon. There are many creative ways to mix and match herbs and spices, as Bulk Apothecary has an extensive inventory of these ingredients.
