How To Blend Scents?
Blend two scents or many scents together to create your signature scent. Here are some tips for blending:
1) Robust scents include a range of notes including top, middle and base notes.
2) Formulate your scent! Use blotter sticks and plastic droppers to develop your scent. Drop oils onto blotter sticks while keeping track of the number of drops of each Fragrance Formulator Oil you add. Continue to play with the scent until you've found your favorite blend.
3) Use math to convert the drops into percentages and then use a Batch Calculator to convert your percentages into ounces.
How Much Fragrance Oil Should Be Used In A Product?
The amount of fragrance that should be used in a cosmetic or soap formulation depends on three factors:
1) The maximum amount of scent the product base will accept.
2) The maximum IFRA skin safe level. (If you are using your custom blended fragrance, use the lowest IFRA maximum from your different Fragrance Formulator Oils.)
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%
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. Crafter’s Choice Vanilla Color Stabilizers will prevent some products from changing color. Oils that are dark in color, contain floral notes or spices may in time naturally change color.
