UPS Lost Package Investigation Procedures and Outcomes:
All UPS Lost Package or Damage Claims must go through us.

The investigations are a minimum of 8 business days but may take as long as 15 business days to complete. We will be notified by UPS with the outcome of the investigation such as if the shipment was lost or delivered to the wrong address. If they admit error, we will then offer the customer a replacement shipment, credit on the customer’s account for the order, or refund back to the customer’s original payment method. If the UPS investigation comes back with no error on their part and shipment was made correctly, then as far as we know the shipment was delivered successfully and no further action will be taken.

Out of Stock Item Policy:
We do our best to make sure our on hand numbers are correct, but sometimes we overfill or spill some and this causes us to run out of stock every now and then. If we run out we will put a note on the order and refund the purchase price minus any discounts back to the original payment method. This may seem like an inconvenience, but we if took the time to try to call or email each customer it would be more of an inconvenience to our customers because it would not only hold up that customers order, but would also delay order processing for other customers as well. Refunds will only be given for the item purchase price minus any discounts. We will not call, email, or make substitutions to an order for out of stock items.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Are your oils sold by weight or volume?
Our fragrance oils are sold by weight. Fill levels on different scents may vary based on the weight of the particular oil itself. Our bottles are filled to order on a calibrated digital scale.
Why are some of the bottle sizes 14oz & 15oz, instead of 16oz?
Some of our sizing is smaller than normal sizes, for example 14oz or 15oz on our larger size bottles. Since we fill by weight we actually can't fit the full 16oz in our bottles. You will notice another supplier who has the same bottles as us saying they are 16oz, but they sell by "fluid ounces" which is different than actual weight. If you weigh some of their lighter oils you will find out that they are actually in the 14-15oz net weight range. Our normal pricing has already been adjusted to compensate for the weight difference. We do recommend checking with the suppliers beforehand as we know for certain there is at least 3 suppliers who fill by fluid ounces instead of actually using the net weight of the contents.
Are your fragrance oils phthalate-free?
Not all of them are. This information can be found on each individual item page. Phthalate- Free oils can be found here https://www.naturesfragrance.com/phthalate-free/
Can I apply your fragrance oils directly to my skin?
No. Our fragrance oils are concentrated and should not be applied directly from the bottle to the skin.
Can your fragrance oils be used in reed diffusers?
Most of our oils can be used in reed diffusers, but must be mixed with a reed diffuser base (We do not sell the base). It is recommened to not use oils high in Vanillin or ones that have a lot of cinnamon because these ingredients may clog the reeds.
What is the best way to store fragrance oils?
It is best to store fragrances out of direct sunlight. A dark, cool cupboard or cabinet is ideal.
Do I need to transfer the fragrance oils to amber glass bottles?
Our fragrance oils are normally shipped in puncture and UV resistant PET bottles (depending on bottle availability other bottles may be used, which may include clear or natural color PET or HDPE plastic bottles). Our bottles may include induction heat seals help prevent leaks. Our bottles will help keep the fragrance oils fresh for a long period of time since no light can get to them. Also PET plastic doesn't leach chemicals like lower grade plastics. PET plastic doesn't usually have that chemical plastic smell that lower grade plastics have. It is of course up to our customers if they want to transfer them, but there wouldn't be much added benefit.
What is the shelf life of fragrance oils?
When stored properly, out of direct sunlight and well sealed, fragrance oils have a shelf life of approximately one year.
How are your fragrance oils shipped?
Our fragrance oils are normally shipped in puncture and UV resistant PET bottles (depending on bottle availability other bottles may be used, which may include clear or natural color PET or HDPE plastic bottles). Our bottles may include induction heat seals help prevent leaks. The bottles are then placed into poly bags as a last resort effort to stop any leakage if it occurs. All of our products are shipped in boxes "We do not ship any products in bubble mailers"
What is a Flash Point and what is it for?
Flash Point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid will generate enough vapor to ignite when exposed to a source of ignition such as a spark or flame. Flash Points are for shipping purposes and gel candle making. Gel candles require a fragrance oils to be non-polar and have over 170F Flash Point.
Are your fragrance oils all natural?
Most fragrance oils contain natural and synthetic ingredients.
My oil has crystallized, why?
Some fragrance oils with vanillin can crystallize even more so in colder temperatures. We are in Wisconsin where winters are pretty cold, not to mention your oil has likely been in a cold truck while on it's way to you. The oil gets cold and can separate. Your oil is not ruined. Just heat a pan of water, remove the pan from the heat and put the bottle of oil into the water. The oil will melt back to original form. Remove the bottle from the water and give it a good shake and it will be all good again.
What are Phthalates?
There are many types and classifications of Phthalates. As you may know, there are harmful Phthalates that are to be avoided and there are harmless Phthalates that are used in many products that we commonly use everyday. Unless it is listed in the description as Phthalate Free, then our fragrances have trace elements of the same harmless Phthalates that are used in these everyday products and makes our fragrances skin-safe for Bath and Body product usage. Phthalates used in fragrance oils, known as DEP (Diethyl Phthalate), are solvents used to extend the aromatic strength of the fragrance oil. DEP has been found to be non-toxic in skin products and candles if used at safe levels.
More information regarding Phthalates can be found here. https://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/ProductsIngredients/Ingredients/ucm128250.htm
Are your fragrance oils cruelty free?
Yes. None of our products are tested on animals.

Refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis, but please keep the following in mind:

We do our best to describe things as accurately as possible, but everyone's nose is different, so there are occasions when one of my scents doesn't smell to someone, what it smells like to me or those who have smelled our scents in testing.
