Perfume Base Supplier UAE — Fixative & Carrier Bases

Our premium unscented lotion bases are formulated to remain stable while carrying a high fragrance load. Depending on the specific oil and its composition, you can generally blend between 2% and 5% fragrance oil by weight without causing emulsion breakdown, greasiness, or separation. Lighter, high-alcohol fragrance oils typically blend cleanly at the higher end of this range, while heavier oudh and resinous oils may require a small solubiliser to fully incorporate at concentrations above 3%. We recommend always conducting a small-batch trial at your target percentage — mix 100g of base with your chosen oil, allow it to rest for 48 hours at room temperature, and inspect for separation or texture changes before scaling up. All fragrance oils supplied by Scent Bazaar from our 2,000-plus oil catalogue come with MSDS and COA documentation to support your formulation records and any regulatory submissions.

Yes. All our cosmetic bases are manufactured to strict industry standards and are rigorously tested to ensure they are hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and safe for all normal skin contact including face, body, and sensitive skin applications. They are formulated without animal-derived ingredients and are produced cruelty-free, making them suitable for brands with vegan or ethical sourcing commitments. Each base is supplied with a full technical data sheet covering INCI ingredient listing, pH range, recommended usage levels, and shelf life — the information your regulatory team or contract manufacturer will need to complete a product safety assessment before launching commercially in the UAE, EU, UK, or other regulated markets. Scent Bazaar is based in Souq Naif, Deira, Dubai, and supplies cosmetic bases to manufacturers, private label brands, and independent formulators across more than 50 countries. We are able to provide documentation support for import compliance on request.

Yes. As an end-to-end packaging supplier, we stock a wide range of PET plastic and glass bottles specifically designed for high-viscosity lotions, shower gels, and body care formulas, complete with professional lotion pump dispensers in silver, gold, and matte black finishes. PET bottles are lightweight and shatter-resistant, making them well-suited for shower and bathroom environments, while glass bottles are preferred for premium retail body care lines where weight, clarity, and tactile quality are part of the brand positioning. Pump dispensers are sized and tested against our bottle range to ensure correct fitment and consistent dosage delivery. As with our fragrance packaging, lotion and body care bottles can be labelled, screen-printed, or supplied with custom-designed labels to complete your private label product presentation. Bottles and pumps can be ordered alongside cosmetic bases in a single transaction.

For unbranded bulk cosmetic bases, we typically supply in 5-litre, 10-litre, and 25-litre jerry cans, making them highly accessible for growing cosmetics brands, artisanal manufacturers, and small-batch formulators in the UAE and wider GCC. The 5-litre option is ideal for brands trialling a new base formulation or launching a limited initial product run, while the 25-litre format suits established producers managing regular replenishment cycles. Unlike overseas chemical suppliers who often require pallet-quantity minimums, our Dubai warehouse stock allows you to order only what you need for your current production batch and reorder quickly when volumes grow. Bulk bases are supplied with a full technical data sheet and lot number for traceability. For fragrance oils, our minimum order quantity is 100ml per oil — consistent across our entire catalogue of over 2,000 fragrance oils — which similarly allows small-batch cosmetic producers to work at manageable scale from the outset.

Yes, within limits. Many of our bases are designed to be chemically compatible with each other — for example, blending our lotion base with body oil base at a 70:30 ratio can create a luxurious lightweight body milk with a dry-touch skin feel that neither base achieves alone. Similarly, mixing shower gel base with a small proportion of conditioning oil base produces a moisturising wash formula popular in the GCC market. However, not all combinations will remain stable — water-based and oil-based formulas require an emulsifier to bind properly, and some combinations will separate on standing if the ratios or emulsification chemistry is incorrect. Always test small batches of 100–200g first, observe the result over 48 to 72 hours at room temperature, then conduct a heat-cool cycling test before scaling to production volumes. Our team is available via WhatsApp to advise on compatible base combinations for your specific product concept.

Yes. All our cosmetic bases are specifically formulated and stability-tested for hot, dry climates typical of the UAE and wider GCC region. Standard cosmetic bases formulated for temperate European or North American markets frequently experience emulsion breakdown, phase separation, or melting at the sustained high temperatures common in the Gulf — particularly during summer months when ambient temperatures can exceed 45°C and retail or storage environments may not be consistently air-conditioned. Our bases maintain their viscosity, texture, and emulsion stability even when exposed to temperatures up to 40°C and low humidity conditions, ensuring your lotions, serums, and body care products perform consistently throughout the year. They are also tested for resistance to thermal cycling — the repeated heating and cooling that occurs during daytime shipping and overnight storage — which is one of the most common causes of early product failure in this region.

Yes. Our solid perfume base is a carefully balanced blend of cosmetic-grade waxes and skin-conditioning butters designed to carry fragrance oils in a portable, finger-application format that requires no bottle, pump, or alcohol. The base sets to a firm but pliable consistency at room temperature that melts slightly on contact with warm skin, releasing the fragrance oil it carries and delivering it effectively to pulse points. It is paraben-free, skin-safe, and compatible with both synthetic and natural fragrance oils at fragrance loads of up to 15% by weight — significantly higher than most lotion or spray formats. This high load capacity makes solid perfume particularly well-suited to concentrating richly aromatic oud, musk, and resinous Arabic fragrance profiles. Solid perfume bases are supplied in 1kg and 5kg quantities and pair directly with fragrance oils from our 2,000-plus oil catalogue, with a 100ml minimum per oil.

A perfume base is a carrier formulation — lotion, wax, alcohol, or oil — used to dilute and physically deliver the fragrance oil to the user's skin or environment. It determines the product format: a lotion base produces a scented body lotion, a wax base produces a solid perfume, and perfumers alcohol produces an eau de parfum or cologne spray. A fixative, by contrast, is a specific ingredient added within any of these carriers to chemically slow the evaporation rate of the volatile top-note compounds in the fragrance oil, extending how long the scent remains perceptible on skin. Common fixatives include benzyl benzoate, iso E Super, and various musk aroma chemicals. Our perfumers alcohol already contains carefully dosed fixative compounds, and our lotion and wax bases are formulated to retain fragrance character through their own film-forming properties, meaning additional fixatives are not required in most standard applications.

Yes. As part of our private label cosmetic manufacturing service, we can pre-blend your chosen fragrance oil from our catalogue of over 2,000 oils into our lotion, shower gel, or body care bases at the correct concentration before filling into your branded packaging — saving you an entire production step and eliminating the need for blending equipment on your end. The finished, filled product is then labelled and boxed ready for retail or wholesale dispatch, meaning you receive shelf-ready stock rather than raw materials. This service is particularly well-suited to brands launching scented body care ranges alongside a perfume line, ensuring fragrance consistency across the full product collection. It is also popular with distributors buying finished goods for resale into markets across the GCC and beyond. Contact us via WhatsApp or visit our Souq Naif, Deira showroom to discuss your formulation and packaging brief.

Our cosmetic bases are formulated without animal-derived ingredients and are produced cruelty-free, making them suitable for brands with vegan positioning. Halal certification is available on request for selected bases — please specify when placing your order if your market or brand requires certified halal documentation, as this affects which specific base formulations we will recommend and supply. Halal certification is a commercial requirement — not merely a preference — for brands entering retail in Saudi Arabia, the wider GCC, Malaysia, Indonesia, and significant portions of the North African market, where retail buyers and regulatory authorities may require documented evidence of halal compliance before a product can be listed. As Scent Bazaar is headquartered in Dubai and regularly supplies customers across all these markets, we are experienced in providing the documentation that export buyers in these regions require. Contact us early in your product development process to confirm certification requirements for your target markets.
