Fragrance Reformulations Explained

Why Are We Reformulating Some Fragrances?

Due to upcoming changes with Lillial (Butylphenyl Methylpropional), and IFRA 49 coming into effect, we had to change some of our fragrances to keep them compliant. With Lilial being banned from the 1st of March, we thought now was the best time to make the change for those oils that contain it. In total there are 25 oils that are effected by this that are listed below: 

  • Alien - 3.4% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Allure For Him - 0.425% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Black Orchid - 0.8% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Blue For Men - 1.2% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Bluebell Woods - 8% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Clean Cotton - 0.8% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Coconut - 0.1% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Code - 0.7% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Honeysuckle & Sandalwood - 4.4% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Cuban Tobacco Oak 0.4% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Dewberry - 1% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • English Pear & Freesia - 1.5% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Euphoria - 0.16% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • J'Adore - 4.5% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Lady Million - 0.7% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Light Blue For Him - 1% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Miss - 2% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • One Million - 5.7% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Oud Wood - 3% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Plum Rose & Patchouli - 0.45% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Rock Salt & Driftwood - 2.1% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Summer Bouquet - 0.5% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Watermelon Margarita - 1.5% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Wild Flower Bloom - 0.5% Butylphenyl Methylpropional
  • Springtime - 5.5% Butylphenyl Methylpropional

All oils that have been reformulated will start with the batch code: 22/

The lillial ban only applies to cosmetic products. If you are using the oils for candles, diffusers, wax melts, it does not effect you unless the final product contains over 0.3% Butylphenyl Methylpropional, and you can continue to use and sell products that contain it. Some fragrance oils that have over 3% of Butylphenyl Methylpropional will still be banned for all uses (if using 10% or more fragrance oil in your final product), this information can be found on the allergen sheets and above. Unfortunately because a lot of our customers use our oils for soaps, perfumes and other cosmetic products, we have had to change these oils.

We are also posting on the website on each fragrance page to make you aware of this. Please also make sure to check the new CLP information needed, all documents will be uploaded when the oils are changed. They will be under the second safety data sheet link, clearly marked. All oils are suitable for use for Candles, Diffusers, Soaps etc as normal, and meet the new IFRA 49th guidelines.   

We have also been busy last year reformulating all oils that do not meet the 25% maximum use for IFRA 49 for diffusers (section 10A). We know how important it is for you to be compliant, and do not want to offer products that could put your companies at risk.

We have spent months trialing new formulations with some of our larger customers, and are now ready to start and launch them. The feedback has been fantastic, and we believe they are now even stronger, long lasting scents. We will be posting the reformulared oils below shortly. This change comes into effect on the 10th of May, so all oils will be changed months in advance.
