Raspberry & Vanilla Fragrance Oil

Raspberry & Vanilla fragrance oil (cosmetic grade) is a blended fragrance oil that combines the juicy, tart sweetness of raspberry with the warm, creamy smoothness of vanilla. It’s not an essential oil, but a lab-created fragrance (sometimes mixed with natural isolates) designed to be long-lasting, stable, and safe for skin use.

What is Raspberry & Vanilla Fragrance Oil

• Cosmetic grade = safe for skin and hair applications.
• Provides fragrance only (no therapeutic properties like essential oils).
• Commonly used where a sweet-gourmand aroma is desired.

Properties

• Aroma: Sweet, fruity, tart raspberry blended with creamy vanilla base.
• Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid.
• Stability: More stable than natural extracts (doesn’t oxidize easily).
