International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI):

Common Name Ingredient Listing (FDA Approved):
Fragrance

Directions:
To Determine The Amount of EO & FO Blend Used In A Product:

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

1) The maximum amount of fragrance 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: MP soap is 3%, IFRA max. use is 100%, 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%

PRODUCT REVIEWS

Jessica • Michigan Date Submitted:  10/30/2018 I Recommend This Product!

"Sharp woody green" COMMENTS:  This is such an intriguing scent. Not familiar with the Aveda original so can't speak to its similarity, but it is very, very green-woody, almost harshly so (not a bad thing). Slight acceleration when soaped warm, no ricing, no discoloration. Very long/strong retention. It's quirky and different and mossy and almost smokey. Masculine bordering on unisex. Might be too interesting for a market that loves vanillas and contemporary male colognes, but I'm a fan. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Scent • Uniqueness • Longevity • Nothing

"Earthy and rich!" COMMENTS:  This smells earthy and rich. I smell Clary Sage in it although it's not listed as one of the scents in it. It behaves perfectly in CP soap and the scent stays true and strong in the finished soap. A little goes a long way! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process, Lotions, Creams & Butters THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Earthy scent • Scent Stays True! • Behaves perfectly in CP soap • Nothing!

"It took a while..." COMMENTS:  I purchased this a while ago and at first was like oh yuk and stuck it in the back with the other oh yuk oils. The past week I've been rearranging my oil cabinet, tossing the out of date and yuk oils and such and came across the full bottle of Indigenous and decided to give it another sniff, I put some on my wrist and went outside to do something and that's when it got me...WoW, this really smells pretty good, in fact I think I like it. Sadly, as I was putting oils back in the cabinet a few bottles fell on the floor and the only one that broke and spilled was Indigenous...Anyway it smells even more awesome after a few days as an unintended air freshener the scent really lingers beautifully; herbal, earthy, clean...kind of reminds me of the original green Herbal Essence Shampoo I used back in the 70's. I will be getting another bottle on a future order! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Melt & Pour, Liquid Soap & Washes, Candles - Soy

"Sorry I tried but it's not for me" COMMENTS:  I wanted to like this scent. I tried, I really did. But it's too raw for me. I love unisex/masculine scents but there is just something here that I don't like. Interestingly, my 15 year old liked it but she's the only one I can find so far. The scent is strong and held up in wax though so I couldn't give it 1 star PRODUCT USED IN:   Candles - Paraffin, Candles - Soy

"great scent, very slight acceleration of trace " COMMENTS:  This is a great woodsy cedar scent with a hint of herbal florals, like lavender. It's similar to cedarwood and sage, but has a different note to it. I would say this is a scent that would appeal to males, but is very unisex. It smells fabulous in soap, but it accelerated the batter just slightly. I was making a clay soap, single color and no swirls, so I didn't mind. Be aware if you are planning more complicated designs.

"Again, different strokes..." COMMENTS:  After reading the reviews, I was expecting that there was a 50/50 chance I'd like this, and I ended up really liking it. I didn't get anything "sour" out of it, but I can see where some may not be too impressed by it. It's one of those FO's that you are either going to love or hate, and luckily for me, most of my customers thought it was wonderful. I used it in MP just in case, it sold very well. Will be interested to try it in CP next time... PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Melt & Pour
