Question 1

What does essential oils contract filling cost at Avoria GmbH?

Accepted Answer

Costs depend on the oil category (natural vs. nature-identical), the usage category (cosmetics, room fragrance, industrial), the GHS classification status, the container format and the order quantity. For a reliable calculation we need the product specification, target volume and desired container format.

Question 2

What minimum order quantities apply to essential oils?

Accepted Answer

MOQs vary by product category and raw material availability. For standard oils such as lavender, peppermint and eucalyptus, typical minimum quantities are 5-50 kg. Different minimum quantities apply to customer-specific blends and special formulations.

Question 3

Is a safety data sheet (SDS) required for essential oils?

Accepted Answer

GHS-classified essential oils - which includes most pure and concentrated fragrance oils - require an SDS per REACH Art. 31 for commercial buyers. Avoria GmbH prepares SDS for filled batches on request in German and English versions.

Question 4

Can flammable essential oils (ADR Class 3) be filled at Avoria GmbH?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Flammable liquids of ADR Class 3 - which includes most concentrated essential oils with a flash point below 60 °C - are filled with ADR-compliant packaging, labeling and transport documentation. UN number, packing group and flash point must be stated in the inquiry.

Question 5

What does the batch record cover for essential oils?

Accepted Answer

The batch record documents: GC-MS identity check of the raw material, raw material CoA, filling date, fill weight log with tolerance evidence and finished goods weight. For GHS batches: CLP classification note. For cosmetics-grade batches: INCI list as standard.

Question 6

Can Avoria GmbH perform GC-MS analyses for essential oils?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Avoria GmbH performs GC-MS identity checks at its own laboratory site - as incoming goods inspection for raw materials and, on request, as standalone analysis orders. For deeper analysis (full component profiling, purity evidence), the in-house laboratory is available.

Question 7

What does IFRA conformity mean and is it relevant for filling?

Accepted Answer

IFRA (International Fragrance Association) defines usage restrictions for fragrances in various product categories - relevant for cosmetics, personal care and household products. Avoria GmbH documents the raw materials used with INCI name and CAS number, so the client can perform the IFRA check on that basis.
