Orange Fragrance Oil (Cosmetic Grade)
Orange fragrance oil (cosmetic grade) is a synthetic or blended fragrance oil designed to replicate the sweet, fresh, citrusy aroma of oranges. Unlike natural orange essential oil, which comes from cold-pressed orange peels, fragrance oil is created in a lab (or blended with natural isolates) to be longer-lasting, more stable, and consistent in scent.

It’s widely used in cosmetics, soaps, lotions, candles, and bath products to deliver a bright, energizing orange scent.
What is Orange Fragrance Oil

- Color: Clear to pale yellow liquid.
- Stability: More stable than orange essential oil (doesn’t oxidize or turn bitter quickly).
