Now Available: Our Unscented Solid Perfume Base for Makers

Our wildly popular balm base is now available for sale unscented, so you can create your own perfume balms and solid cologne at home or for your own business!

If you’ve ever wanted to make your own signature scent but didn’t know where to start, this is for you.

What is a solid perfume base?

A solid perfume base is the foundation of any solid fragrance. It’s the smooth, skin-nourishing balm that carries your scent. Instead of mixing alcohol and fragrance in a bottle, you melt the base, stir in your fragrance, and pour it into a tin or tube. Once it sets, you have a portable, spill-proof perfume that melts at skin temperature.

Making a good base from scratch takes time. You have to source quality ingredients, test ratios, and tweak the texture until it’s right. We’ve done that work, so you can skip straight to the fun part.

What’s in our unscented perfume base

Our base uses just three natural ingredients:

• Sweet almond oil for a silky glide and skin-softening feel
• Coconut oil for added moisture and a smooth, creamy texture
• Beeswax for structure, so your perfume sets firm but melts on contact with warm skin

That’s it. No added fragrance, no fillers, and no alcohol. Because the base is completely unscented, your fragrance oils stay true to what you intended.

Who is it for?

Our unscented base is made for makers of all kinds:

• DIY perfumers and hobbyists who want to experiment with custom scent blends
• Small brands and Etsy sellers looking for a reliable base for their own solid perfume line
• Cologne makers who want a fresh, wearable alternative to spray
• Crafters planning gifts like wedding favors, bridesmaid gifts, and holiday presents
• Body care makers who want a quality balm foundation to build on

How to make solid perfume with our base

It’s as simple as melt, scent, and pour.

1. Melt: Gently melt the base.
2. Scent: Stir in your skin-safe fragrance oil at your preferred usage rate when the base is 180-190 degrees. Our base is category 4 IFRA.
3. Pour: Pour into tins, tubes, lockets, or compacts.
4. Set: Let it set at room temperature, then label and enjoy.

This all natural ready-made base:

• Saves time. No sourcing, testing, or blending from scratch.
• Is consistent. You get the same quality from batch to batch, which matters when you’re building a product line.
• Is flexible. One base, endless scents. Make a warm vanilla amber, a crisp citrus cologne, or a woodsy blend all from the same foundation.
• Is gentle. The base is alcohol-free and naturally moisturizing, so it’s kind to skin.

A few notes for makers

Our base contains tree nut (almond) and coconut, so be sure to label your finished products accordingly. As with any cosmetic product, you’re responsible for testing, labeling, and safety compliance for what you make, so always follow your local regulations and use only fragrance and essential oils that are safe for skin.
