Pina Colada Fragrance Oil is a scented oil for craft use that combines juicy pineapple, creamy coconut and sweet vanilla into one tropical aroma. It is designed for external DIY projects like candles, soaps, bath bombs and body scrubs — not for eating or applying near the eyes.
Azlok's version is a liquid ranging from pale yellow to clear, built around a bright pineapple, raspberry and citrus top, a coconut-milk heart, and a soft base of vanilla, light musk and gentle woody-lactonic notes. In short, it smells like a holiday in a bottle.
What Pina Colada Fragrance Oil is used for
This is a versatile fragrance oil that works across many cosmetic and home-craft formats. Common uses include:
- Candles — soy, paraffin or blended wax candles that fill a room with a warm, fruity-creamy scent.
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soaps — for a cheerful summer bar.
- Bath bombs and bath salts — a spa-like tropical soak.
- Body and facial scrubs, creams and lotions — used at the correct low percentage.
- Lip balms and lipsticks — a light hint of sweetness (external use only).
- Perfume oils and reed diffusers — for a lasting home fragrance.
How to use it
The right amount depends entirely on your base. Always follow safe usage guidelines rather than pouring by eye.
- Candles: Most waxes hold roughly 6–10% fragrance oil by weight. Add it to melted wax once it cools to the manufacturer's recommended temperature, then stir gently for a minute or two so it binds evenly.
- Soaps: A typical dosage is about 3% of the total batch weight. In cold-process soap, this fragrance may accelerate trace or discolour slightly, so work at cooler temperatures and blend quickly.
- Leave-on cosmetics (creams, balms, scrubs): Keep the fragrance level low — usually under 1% — and always refer to IFRA-style usage limits for the product type.
- Diffusers: Blend with a suitable carrier or diffuser base as directed.
A little goes a long way. Start on the lower side, cure your product, then adjust in the next batch if you want it stronger.
Tips and safety notes
Fragrance oils are concentrated, so handle them with care:
- This oil is for external use only. Do not swallow it and keep it away from your eyes, as it can irritate.
- Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
- Do a small patch test before using any new skin product, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies.
- Work in a ventilated space and avoid prolonged inhalation of the neat oil.
- Because the coconut-vanilla notes contain lactonic and vanilla components, some soaps and candles may darken over time. This is cosmetic and does not affect the scent.
- Wipe spills promptly and wash hands after handling.
Buying and storage
Azlok offers Pina Colada Fragrance Oil in sizes from 100 GM up to 25 KG, so hobbyists testing a single candle batch and small businesses running production runs can both find a suitable pack. Pricing starts at ₹399, and the country of origin is India.
To protect the scent and colour, store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Kept well, the fragrance oil has a shelf life of around two years. If you buy larger quantities, decant smaller working amounts so you are not repeatedly opening the main container.
When you order, ask for the accompanying documentation such as the MSDS and allergen information if your product line requires it — useful for anyone selling finished goods.
FAQ
Can I use Pina Colada Fragrance Oil directly on my skin?
Not neat. It must be diluted into a suitable base like a lotion, balm or carrier at a safe low percentage. Always patch-test first, and never apply the concentrated oil straight to skin or near the eyes.
How much fragrance oil should I add to candles?
Most waxes take about 6–10% fragrance oil by weight. Check your specific wax's recommended maximum, add at the correct temperature, and stir well so it disperses evenly.
Is it safe for cold-process soap?
Yes, at around 3% of batch weight. Be aware it may speed up trace and cause slight discolouration due to the vanilla-type notes, so soap at cooler temperatures and blend efficiently.
Does the scent last in finished candles and soaps?
The blend has a balanced structure — bright fruity top notes over a creamy coconut-vanilla base — which helps it linger. Proper dosage and adequate curing time give the strongest, longest-lasting throw.
What is the shelf life?
About two years when stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat, with the cap kept tightly closed.
