Directions:
To Determine The Amount of Fragrance Oil Used In A Product:
The amount of fragrance that should be used in a formulation depends on three factors:
1) The maximum amount of scent 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: 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%
Candle Wax: 6-12% (see specific wax for exact levels)
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. Our Crafter’s Choice Vanilla Color Stabilizers and Crafter’s Choice Vanilla Color Neutralizer will prevent some products from changing color. Oils that are dark in color, contain floral notes or spices may in time naturally change color.

"Probably Not the Best Choice for Cold Process Soap" |
|
COMMENTS: This fragrance does have a nice strong scent that sticks well in cold process soap and is still strong after curing. It smells mostly of baby powder with a hint of vanilla. Watch out though because this fragrance really accelerates! I would plan for a very simple design. Also it does discolor unevenly as the product picture shows. It leaves small brown spots through all the colors as it cures. So you would either have to somehow incorporate that into your design or color it brown as to not to see the spots.

"Baby Powder and Vanilla, Accelerates" |
|
COMMENTS: It's hard to pick out anything except BABY POWDER and a hint of vanilla in this fragrance OOB and in a freshly cut bar of soap - not sure yet if that will change through cure but I'm hoping it softens a bit. Soaped at room temp and it DEFINITELY accelerates! I was able to get the soap in the mold with a little bit of color but be prepared for something simple and move quick!
This fragrance is STRONG and seemed to get stronger since being cut. You can probably afford to be a little light-handed on this one.
