Color variations can and do occur for a variety of reasons. Any time natural ingredients are used color variations are likely. Each ‘crop’ produced and harvested is unique. Other things that can affect the color of a fragrance oil are natural oxidation through exposure to light and oxygen. This is seen most often in fragrances with a high vanillin content. It’s important to remember that the color of the oil does not have an effect on the fragrance of the oil and how it will work in your product. We work with our manufacturers and quality control to ensure the molecular structure of each fragrance oil we sell is precise in order to give you consistent results you can trust.
