Kush Fragrance Oil is a warm, clean, aquatic-scented oil used to add fragrance to homemade candles, soaps, bath bombs, scrubs, creams and perfume oils. It is a pale yellow to amber liquid meant strictly for external, cosmetic and craft use — never for eating or drinking. At Azlok it starts at ₹259, with pack sizes from 100 GM up to 25 KG for hobbyists and small businesses alike.
The scent leans into that breezy, tropical feel the name suggests: cool water meeting warm skies, with a soft, slightly exotic edge. It works well when you want something fresh but not sharp — a fragrance that feels relaxed rather than perfumey.
What you can make with it
Kush Fragrance Oil is a versatile blending oil. It plays nicely across most cold-process and melt-and-pour bases, and it holds up in both wash-off and leave-on products. Common uses include:
- Candles — soy, beeswax or paraffin container and pillar candles.
- Bath bombs and bath salts for a spa-like soak.
- Soaps — both melt-and-pour and cold-process bars.
- Facial and body scrubs, creams and lotions.
- Lip balms and lipsticks in very small amounts.
- Perfume oils and roll-ons when diluted in a carrier.
How to use it
A little goes a long way with fragrance oils. Always weigh rather than guess, and start on the lower side — you can add more, but you cannot take it back out.
- Candles: Roughly 6–10% of your wax weight is a common range. Add the oil once the melted wax has cooled to about 60–65°C, stir gently for a couple of minutes, then pour.
- Soap: Around 2–4% of your base weight. In cold-process soap, some fragrance oils can speed up trace, so mix at a moderate temperature and work quickly.
- Lotions, creams and scrubs: Keep it to about 0.5–1% of the total.
- Perfume oils: Dilute heavily in a light carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil — usually 10–20% fragrance at most for a roll-on.
Because scent strength varies by recipe, do a small test batch first and let it cure or set before judging the final throw.
Safety and honest cautions
Fragrance oils are concentrated. Handle them with the same care you would any strong cosmetic ingredient.
- External use only. Do not swallow it, and keep it well away from the eyes as it can irritate.
- Patch-test any skin product before regular use, and always keep it within recommended usage percentages.
- Work in a ventilated space and avoid prolonged skin contact with the neat oil.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Store away from open flames until it is safely blended into your finished product.
Check the MSDS for the specific product before large-scale or commercial use, and follow the usage limits for the product type you are making.
Buying and storage tips
Buy the size that matches how quickly you go through fragrance. A 100 GM pack is plenty for testing recipes or occasional candle batches, while the 5 KG to 25 KG options suit small brands producing in volume. Azlok stocks the full range, so you can scale up once you have settled on your blend.
To protect the aroma:
- Store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
- Keep the cap tightly closed to slow evaporation and oxidation.
- Use clean, dry tools when measuring to avoid contamination.
Kept properly, the oil has a shelf life of about two years. A slight deepening in colour over time is normal and does not usually mean the oil has gone off.
FAQ
Is Kush Fragrance Oil safe for skin products?
Yes, it is suitable for external cosmetic use such as soaps, scrubs, creams, lip balms and perfume oils, provided you stay within safe usage percentages and patch-test first. It is not meant to be eaten or used near the eyes.
How much fragrance oil should I add to candles?
A common range is 6–10% of the wax weight. Add it once the wax has cooled to around 60–65°C, stir well, then pour. Always test a small batch to check the scent throw.
Can I apply it directly to my skin?
No. It should be diluted in a carrier oil or blended into a finished product before skin contact. Neat fragrance oil is too concentrated to apply directly.
What does Kush Fragrance Oil smell like?
It has a warm, clean, cool-aquatic aroma with a soft exotic edge — fresh and breezy rather than heavy or sweet.
How long does it last in storage?
About two years when stored in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed and away from sunlight and heat.
