Q&A

Is the safe usage rate of .10% for cold process soap correct? i am new to soap making and have noticed that most usage rates seem to be between 3-5%. Why is this EO have such an incredibly low usage rate?

Yes, up to 0.10% is correct. Although they are natural, many EOs, including this one, are very strong and can burn/damage the skin the skin if they aren't used in a small, safe amount.

Hello is this Aniseed or Anise Star oil?

This essential oil is Anise Star oil.

Can you use the Anise EO in soy candles?

This essential oil can be used in soy candles. Using essential oils in candles can be tricky. You do need to test to know the proper amount to safely use. Also, they need to be added at a very low temperature so the fragrance does not burn off.

Can you use this in toothpaste or lip balms?

The IFRA guidelines state this essential oil is safe at 0.10% in lip products. Our essential oils are not meant to be ingested and should not be used in toothpaste or other food products.

In order to determine amount of fragrance/ essential oil to use, I have seen two ways to determine amount explained on website.#1base maxifra maxcontainer max, containers I checked didn't have % listed?#2base maxifra maxsmell %, how do you determine this? I see nothing included in documents that identifies %?Which of the above two should be used for calculating the amount of FO/EO for a recipe?Where do I find needed information?

To determine the amount of fragrance to use, you must first check the IFRA guidelines for the product you are making. Anise EO is only approved up to 0.10% in soap. So that is the maximum amount you can add. If it were approved for a higher percent, you would then check the product you are making, say soap. Our MP soap bases have a recommended fragrance load of 3% and a CP soap would have 6%. No matter what the numbers, you would always go with the lower amount.
