Where to buy aromatic essences

Aromatic essences are basically used to perfume different types of elaborations. These are synthetic fragrances that recreate a certain smell, such as chocolate, orange, coffee, roses, vanilla, incense ... The catalog is very wide and there are for all tastes!

For example, perfumes, air fresheners, candles are made with them... and can even be used to flavor hygiene and beauty products. They are very versatile and we must bear in mind that the same essence can be used in different recipes. To this we must add that they are very concentrated aromas, so they spread a lot and are very profitable.

With a single essence you can make different elaborations, hence they are so practical and functional. For example, if you are passionate about the aroma of vanilla you can create your own range of homemade products, from a perfume, to shower gel, a scented candle or an air freshener for the car. You will not lack ideas so you can get the most out of them!

In Gran Velada we have more than 300 concentrated aromatic essences , cataloged by olfactory families. We have citrus, fruity, sweet, herbal, marine, spicy, children's, exotic, woody, Christmas, beverage or wine. Within each of these categories there is a wide variety of fragrances, such as bergamot, lemon balm, tangerine, passion fruit, lavender, roses, mint, laurel, pine, jelly beans or sea breeze.

Most aromatic essences are fat-soluble, that is, they integrate perfectly into waxes, soaps, oils, base creams ... Of course, there is also a range of water-soluble aromatic essences that are only diluted in water or in elaborations that have an aqueous phase. It is important to keep in mind that water-soluble aromatic essences cannot be used to flavor candles or any other product that contains exclusively oils or butters.

When using aromatic essences it is very important to respect the recommended dose of use. For air fresheners and perfumery it is advisable to use up to 30 percent while to aromatize cosmetic products the dose usually varies between 0.1 and 1 percent. In the case of candles the proportion varies greatly depending on the type of candle to be made. In decorative candles with shapes it is usual to add around 3 percent and in the case of scented candles you can add up to 10 percent whenever the perfume fixing additive is used.

These are the usual doses of use in most aromatic essences but it is always advisable to consult the IFRA certificate. It details the different uses that can be given to the essence and the maximum percentage advised.

Can these aromatic essences be used to make lip products? NO, for this type of elaboration you have to use balm essences specially designed to be in contact with the lips.
