Directions:
To Determine The Amount of Fragrance Oil Used In A Product:

The amount of fragrance that should be used in a formulation depends on three factors:

1) The maximum amount of scent the product base will accept .
2) The maximum IFRA skin safe level.
3) The amount of fragrance that smells good in your product.

You will look at these three maximum guidelines and use the LOWEST percentage.

For example: Desired smell is 5%, making MP soap is 3%, and the IFRA max use is 15%. You should not use more than 3% in your product. This 3% is the lowest of all of those numbers.

Maximum Product Base Guidelines:

MP Soap: 3%
CP, HP, CPOP Soap: 6%
Lotions and Scrubs: 1 – 2%
Bath Salts, Fizziest & Tub Soaks: 5-10%
Candle Wax: 6-12% (see specific wax for exact levels)

To Determine The IFRA Guidelines:

IFRA is a self-regulating trade organization that together with the industry's scientific center RIFM (the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials), establishes usage safety standards for materials that comprise fragrance and essential oils. Each year IFRA updates their standards based on sound science.

Wholesale Supplies Plus updates IFRA documents annually so that customers can stay up-to-date with the latest science. If you find IFRA levels have changed for your formula, it is standard to take 2 years to update products in the market. You can find Wholesale Supplies Plus IFRA documents on the “documents” tab of this product page.

Additional Information:

Fragrance oils that contain vanilla or vanillin will change color. The color change can take days, weeks, or months and can vary from a light ivory to dark brown. Our Crafter’s Choice Vanilla Color Stabilizers and Crafter’s Choice Vanilla Color Neutralizer will prevent some products from changing color. Oils that are dark in color, contain floral notes or spices may in time naturally change color.

"Smells Wonderful" COMMENTS:  I love this cent and so do my customers. It does accelerate in cold process soap so don't plan something intricate. I tried a three color drop swirl and ended up piping the last color because it thickened up so fast. But other than that, it's great. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process

"Love the scent, but accelerated" COMMENTS:  I really like this scent and had a great design all ready for it. Unfortunately, for me, this fragrance accelerated to the point of just plopping the soap in the mold and not being able to achieve the look I had highly hoped for. I read reviews and no one said this fragrance accelerated trace. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Scent • Accelerated Trace

"very nice winter scent" COMMENTS:  I really enjoyed this scent! The pine and the apple complement each other well. Neither one is too overpowering. Used in lotion and soap. Enjoyed the scent more in the lotion than the soap. It looses some of its potency in the soap. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - CPOP THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • ratio of apple to pine

Gretchen • Virginia Date Submitted:  08/15/2014 I Recommend This Product!

"Soooo good!!!" COMMENTS:  I love this scent OOB, and love it just the same in the soap - it didn't decrease or change at all. It's a GREAT pine/balsam scent, and the apple just adds a touch of sweetness, so that it's not quite as edgy as a true balsam/pine scent. Combined it with the woodland green pigment and it's beautiful! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Strong OOB • Doesn't fade or morph in soap

MaryEllen • California Date Submitted:  07/22/2014 I Recommend This Product!

"Smells like Christmas!" COMMENTS:  This smells just like Christmas to me! The pine in this fragrance is pretty prominent. The apple and maybe some cinnamon is distinguishable as well. I'd have to say the pine is more noticeable, but it smells good like real pine and not a cleaner or a pine tree air freshener. I am using it in a pine tree embed and probably won't add any fragrance to the rest of the bar-if I do, I might add an apple FO. This fragrance behaved well in CP soap and didn't accelerate trace. It did discolor the base a little, but I colored the soap dark green and so far it's staying the same color and smells great. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Behaved well in CP soap. • Smells like Christmas • Add more apple.

"Personal Preferences" COMMENTS:  I enjoyed this fragrance. It reminded me of a fresh cut christmas tree with just enough sweetness. However, it was not very popular among my customer base. I guess it's just a matter of preference. I used it in soy wax tarts around my house to give it the fir/pine smell for the holiday season.

"Very Interesting" COMMENTS:  Out of the bottle, my first response was, Yuck! Then we made a batch of cold process soap with it at 5%; still unsure of this fragrance. It behaved nicely in the soap making process. Did not accelerate trace or discolor the soap. But we just could not figure this fragrance out. Then it cured for a week and what a difference a week made! It is clean and complex. At first you smell the fruit, then the clean air (almost softly floral, but not quite), then the pine follows, softly. I have had several people smell this soap and they all say, "What is it?" Then they say they like it. I am facinated by this scent. I am not sure how well it would sell, but it definately has a unique scent to it. For a lotion, I would go lightly with it so the pine does not overpower the lotion.

"One Sophisticated Apple!" COMMENTS:  I the love fruitiness of the apple coupled with the earthiness of balsam and pine. I loved this fragrance from the very 1st moment I opened the bottle. It behaved perfectly in my CP soap... I will definitely invite this one back for a repeat performance. No acceleration, ricing or separation. No significant color change.

"Interesting Fragrance Blend" COMMENTS:  I used this fragrance in cold process goat milk soap, actually threw in a little beer, too, since I didn’t think this FO would heat up much. You can easily smell both the apples and the pine, and the scent is sticking well in the soap, a very strong blend. Working with this one was a breeze. Lots of time to color, no heating, no ricing, no acceleration. I have found that most customers either love a pine scent or they hate it in soap, and I fall into the category of “not so much.” It is not my favorite, but I have no doubt that those in the other camp will find this very nice. I think the apples cut the pine smell and tone it down somewhat—which is a plus in my book. I thought it might make a better room spray, so that is what I made! In this product I was more pleased with the pine. I like the crisp apple notes on top of the pine, and it smelled fresh and clean in the room. For the holidays, this would be perfect to spritz around your artificial tree-- think cozy and homey! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process, Room & Linen Sprays

"Apple Balsam Pine " COMMENTS:  Lovely fragrance, although the apple is overpowered by the Pine. However it handled the Hot Process very well. Smells wonderful, no color change to my soap, I love this one for the fall & winter. A rather masculine scent. But very Good! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Melt & Pour, Soap - Hot Process

"Very Apple!" COMMENTS:  This review is for cold process soap only. Apple Balsam Pine behaved very well at a 1% usage rate. There was no acceleration of trace nor color morph during cure. The scent has held up through the six-week cure and smells just divine. It's very appley and grandma's kitchen smelling. Sorry, but my nose does not detect the balsam or pine. But I love it anyway. Sorry to see it on closeout. PRODUCT USED IN:  Soap Products
