How is this geranium oil used in scented candles?
Geranium oil is a well-behaved candle fragrance: its rosy-floral note survives wax cooling well, blends with citrus and lavender in best-selling home scents, and doses cleanly at 3-8% of wax weight.
Candle Formulation Guide
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Dose in wax | 3-8% of wax weight (start at 5%) |
| Compatible waxes | Soy, paraffin, palm, and blends — all work |
| Flash point | ≥ 64°C — no special handling vs. low-flash citrus oils |
| Melt point behaviour | Stable; no discoloration or frosting observed at 5% |
| Wick performance | Standard wick sizing; rosy scent throws well |
| Best blends | Geranium + lavender (floral calm), geranium + bergamot (fresh floral), geranium + patchouli (oriental) |
- Add the oil to the melted wax at 70-80°C, stir thoroughly, and pour — no special order is needed
- Because flash point is above 60°C, geranium oil does not add the flammability headache that lemon or orange oils can
- The minty top note of geranium gives candles a fresh lift that customers often describe as "clean floral"
- Test at 5% first: candle scent throw depends on wax, wick, and room size — adjust dose before finalising the label
- IFRA 51st home-fragrance limits allow generous geranium doses, but keep your final product within the category limit and keep an IFRA CoC in your file
