A. For health and safety reasons, and to maintain the quality of our products, all items are final sale and cannot be returned, refunded, or exchanged. To help you test before committing to larger quantities, we offer 1/2 oz fragrance oil samples. Please note that any returned fragrance oil must be discarded, as it cannot be resold.
A. Carrier oils and bases have a variety of uses and can have therapeutic uses. Carrier oils are important in aromatherapy. A carrier oil is usually a vegetable or nut type oil which is skin safe and moisturizing. We stock five all natural carrier oils; apricot kernel oil, grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, sunflower oil, and sweet almond oil. These oils can be used to make massage oils, creams, lotions, soaps, perfumed body oils, and bath oils. We also stock DPG (Dipropylene Glycol), which can be used as a carrier oil.
A. These oils are highly concentrated and too strong to use directly on the skin. Essential oils are similar to medications and should not be over-used or applied without dilution. Wear gloves when handling, and keep out of reach of children and pets.
A. Essential Oils are natural concentrated essences derived from plants, bark, roots, seeds, stems, flowers, leaves, or fruits and are usually steam distilled. Fragrance Oils are typically composed of synthetic aroma compounds that replicate natural scents or create new ones.

Wellington Fragrance emphasizes that they are not responsible for projects that don't work and will not issue refunds or replacements if a fragrance oil doesn't perform as desired.
A. Fragrance oils “inspired by” or “like” designer scents are affordable alternatives that mimic a popular perfume’s aroma profile without being exact replicas. These “dupe/type” oils are created by Wellington Fragrance for crafting or as consumer products, offering a similar scent at a much lower cost.
A. Our oils are used for making soaps, candles, bath products, and body oils. Wellington Fragrance does not recommend blending our fragrance oils with perfumers alcohol.
A. We are happy to offer free samples when accompanied by an order. Orders over $50.00 receive three FREE ½ oz vials. To take advantage of the free samples, you must request your scents at the time your order is submitted.
A. Both Cold Processed and M&P soap makers are regular customers of our fragrance oils and essential oils. In-house testing is suggested to perfect techniques and optimize finished products.
