International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI):
Flavor Fragrance

Common Name Ingredient Listing (FDA Approved):
Flavor Fragrance

Directions:
Recommended Usage Rate:
Lip Balm, Lip Scrub, Lip Butter, Lip Gloss: 1-2%

To Determine The Amount of Flavor Oil Used In A Product:
The amount of flavor that should be used in a formulation depends on three factors:

1) The maximum amount of flavor 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.

Maximum Product Base Guidelines:
Lip Balm, Lip Scrub, Lip Butter, Lip Gloss: 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.

Additional Information:
Flavor 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.

"Just like bacon!" COMMENTS:  I purchased this product for a specific lip balm idea I had. When I first opened the jar to smell it, I didn't think it was going to be as strong as I was hoping for. But boy was I wrong! It was very strong and one of my best sellers with men. My only issue was that, over time, the scent in the lip balm faded into a mainly maple note. I will still be purchasing again regardless! PRODUCT USED IN:   Lip Care

"Good Scent" COMMENTS:  I haven't quite got the response I hoped for yet on this in my lip balms. I like the smell of it, I get mixed responses from people on it smelling truly like bacon though.

"I want to make lip balm, can you tell me how much of this product to use in a one pound jar of lip balm? " Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Lisa   |   February 04, 2016 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Hi Lisa, The typical using rate is about 1-2% of the total lip balm base. Sweetened flavor oils should be tested at 1% and then adjusted from there. For 1lb of lip balm base 1% would be 5mL and 2% would be 9.5mL.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: February 08, 2016 (1) Found this helpful. Was this answer helpful? Yes | No
