Q&A

Thanks for your answer, I have used it over the usage of .10 with no problem. I know it won't break the base, I am just not sure for skin exposure if it is a good idea. I have used for a few years on and off and have not had a problem at 1 to 2% in 100 gram lotions. I am usually sizing up too with my batches. I was just not sure how the maximum level is decided, and if it is skin exposer or braking the base? Thx

There can be irritation with the skin. I would review the SDS for any concerns you may have for going over recommended percentages.

Can you really only use .10 grams (.10%) in a 100 gram batch of lotion. I used more not realizing… I usually use at least 1% or 1 gram. I love the smell, one of my favorites, but have to use more for the smell to come through. I have used for years with no issues…

I do not advise to go over the recommended amount because it can break the base down

Can this be used in a whipped soap base?

You can find usage rates on the IFRA document found on the product page. For a whipped soap base use Category 9. The percentage of this fragrance would be 1%.

Can these natural fragrance oils be used in wax melts?

Yes, this can be used in wax melts.

Is bitter almond essential oil in this blend rectified to remove prussic acid?

There is no prussic acid in this oil.
