It delivers a bold, distinctive fragrance that's perfect for automotive lovers or anyone seeking a unique twist for their candles, soaps, or lotions. When used at the recommended rates (6-10% for candles, 3-6% for soaps and lotions), it has a strong yet balanced scent throw that's not overwhelming—just rich and realistic.

Is Motor Oil Fragrance Oil from Small Flame Candle Company safe for skin, and does it contain phthalates or vanillin?

Yes, our Motor Oil Fragrance Oil is designed with your safety in mind. It is completely phthalate free, making it a safer choice for families and crafts. This fragrance oil does contain vanillin, so be sure to consider this if you have sensitivities. It's suitable for making candles, soaps, and lotions using the recommended usage rates, and is skin-safe when used properly. Always test a small batch first if you're making body products!

What sizes does the Motor Oil Fragrance Oil come in, and how do I know how much to buy for my project?

You can order Motor Oil Fragrance Oil in 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, or 16 oz bottles, making it easy to choose just the right amount for small batches or larger projects. For candles, we recommend using 6-10% of the total wax weight; for soaps and lotions, 3-6% of your finished weight works best. If you’re experimenting or just starting a new hobby, the 2 oz or 4 oz bottles are a great way to test the fragrance before committing to a bigger size.
