Crafters Choice™ Bitter Almond - Certified 100% Natural 587

International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI):
Cinnamomum cassia leaf oil, Prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil

Common Name Ingredient Listing (FDA Approved):
Bitter Almond Essential Oil, Sweet Almond Oil

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

The amount of essential oil blend that should be used in a formulation depends on three factors:

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

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

For example: MP soap is 3%, IFRA max. use is 6.1%, and desired smell is 2%. You should not use more than 2% in your product. This 2% 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)
Lip Balm, Lip Gloss, and Lip Butter: 1-2%

"Riced in my CP soap" COMMENTS:  Made a large 85 oz. batch of Olive Oil based CP soap so I needed 8 oz. of fragrance oil. I put in 4 oz. of Coffee Mocha Type Fragrance Oil 213 which was light in color and had no problem but when I added the 4 oz. of Bitter Almond Natural 587, is was very dark in color and behaved badly ricing instantly. This stuff smelled wonderful in the bottle and has great reviews so I don't know if I should have mixed the fragrances together first or if I had a harder oil in my recipe it just didn't like. I have never had that happen in my years of making soap. That was an expensive lesson I learned with this fragrance since I was unable to salvage it. Make sure this fragrance oil will work for your recipe. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Scent in the bottle

"Not so much!" COMMENTS:  Unfortunately, the scent in this one practically disappears within 48 hours. 4 weeks later it's all but gone and 8 weeks later it is gone. Used this in a coffee soap and have sold only 1 bar out of 36 bars. I used kaolin clay with it in hopes of getting the scent to retain but that didn't work either. If you use this in something other than CP soap, you'll love it but I won't be using this in CP soap again. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process

"This is the only almond EO I use. " COMMENTS:  It took me a while to find bitter almond EO at a wholesale price, but I couldn't be happier with the Crafters Choice brand. It smells exactly as it should! I make essential oil blends and have recently started making linen and room sprays with the blends. This is in one of my favorite smells.

"Different than Others I Have Purchased..." COMMENTS:  I had purchased other bitter almond oils before trying this one in my soaps and I have to say this variety was noticeably different than the others. It seems to have a very slight hint of smokiness to it. The others I've tried were more sweet, this one more toasted. I can't say that I like one over the other, but I found it interesting that they could be that noticeably different. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process

"Great Smell, Limited Use." COMMENTS:  The smell is awesome. Sweet cherry overtones with warm almond undertones. What's disappointing is that the usage is so limited. I originally purchased this on a whim with intentions of using it in an almond/honey soap, but after I got it in, I realized it would smell wonderful in lip balm! So I added some into about 7oz of my lip balm, and then realized I never checked to see if it was lip safe. It's not. DON'T use this in lip balm. I feel like this oil is a bit misleading because it is "all natural", so it's tempting for people who only use natural oils in their products. But the uses are so limited, it really depletes the value of this product in my eyes. I feel like WSP should have a kind of "WARNING" on the main listing for items that aren't lip safe, because I've already seen a couple reviews that say they use them in lip balm, and it's misleading!

"Didn't last in CP soap" COMMENTS:  Unfortunately, this one doesn't hold up well in CP soap. After 3 months, the scent is completely gone. It's too bad since this one smells great...just like Jergen's Cherry-Almond soaps and lotions. I don't know if it might work better in a lotion, MP, or liquid soap, but it doesn't stick in CP. I used 1 oz PPO, soaped at room temp, and didn't gel so the scent didn't flash off during saponification, and the soap smelled good for about a month or so, but it doesn't last. So I would not want to sell this to a customer and get complaints that after a couple of months the smell is gone. Cut the bar open, and it didn't have a scent either. I work with EO's in my products, and even citrus EO's will still smell pretty strong for at least 6 months, but this one didn't last even half that long. I would not recommend this product.

"Cherry almond scent" COMMENTS:  This is a strong fragrance...a little goes a long way, so I usually use less fragrance per pound of cold-process soap (.43oz/lb) than my normal recipe, so as not to overpower. This scent can smell a bit chemically out of bottle, but once it is cured in soap it becomes a lovely light cherry almond, like the favorite lotion my mom loves! I like that this is a more natural fragrance, since it uses some bitter almond components. While the almond soap I make is not among my best-sellers, it has its fans, so I am a repeat orderer of this fragrance. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process

"On the INCI ingredient list for the Bitter Almond Fragrance Oil, it indicates that Cassi EO is an ingredient but under the common name it says “Bitter Almond Oil.” Can you tell me which is correct?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Bella    |   February 16, 2017 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer The Bitter Almond Oil is 100% natural, not 100% pure essential oil. It is made up entirely of essential oils, resins and naturally derived aroma chemicals. The benzaldehyde is the primary component of bitter almond oil and is naturally occurring in this product. Pure bitter almond is actually poisonous. This is made up of the cassia leaf oil and sweet almond. The cassia oil has a cinnamon odor but has been processed naturally so the spice/cinnamon scent is removed.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: February 16, 2017 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Staff Answer I can understand your confusion. 100% Natural is not the same as 100% Pure. This oil is 100% Natural meaning that it is an All Natural Fragrance consisting entirely of Essential Oils, Resins and Naturally Derived Aroma Chemicals.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: September 17, 2015 Was this answer helpful?

Staff Answer All of our Essential Oils are safe for use in cosmetics at varying percentages depending on the specific cosmetic. Check the IFRA Document (located under the Documents tab for the specific EO) for the maximum amount of the EO that will be skin-safe in a given product.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: September 26, 2014 Was this answer helpful?

The IFRA guidelines state it can be used in both liquid and bar soap up to 6.1%. Hope that helps!   Posted By: emmelou   |   Date: September 26, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"Confused...Listing says: * Due to DEA Regulations this product is diluted with 52% Soybean Oil. Final product contains 48% Bitter Almond. But ingredients do not say anything about bitter almond or soybean oil. Please clarify."

Staff Answer This is a natural oil made up entirely of Essential Oils, Resins and Naturally Derived Aroma Chemicals. The oil is comprised of at least 50% Cinnamomum Cassia Leaf Oil and Prunus Anygdalus Dulcis (sweet almond) oil. This particular cassia oil has been processed naturally to have the spice/cinnamon scent pulled off.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: November 21, 2013 (4) Found this helpful.

"I'm a little confused about 2 things. First, you say it is cassia eo and almond oil in this blend, but in another place, you say that the cassia is diluted with soybean oil, not almond oil. Second, does the DEA regulate cassia? I was under the impression that they only have to regulate bitter almond, which this is not (even though it's called bitter almond).Thank you."

Staff Answer This product is not bitter almond essential oil. It is a natural blend we have had made for us and is NOT regulated by the DEA. It is considered an All Natural Fragrance consisting entirely of Essential Oils and Resins and Naturally Derived Aroma Chemicals.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: August 15, 2013 Was this answer helpful?
