"Your oils say “pure” 142 and the numbers are different on other oils. What does this number mean? "

Staff Answer This number is only for warehouse purposes. The fragrance oils are stored in numerical order. If ordering Eucalyptus EO, it is helpful to have the number since we sell two Eucalyptus oils.

Staff Answer The IFRA usage levels state this can be used in a lip balm. We would recommend a very small amount if using, such as 1%, as this is a very strong oil.

"I have both the Eucalyptus 80/82 and the Eucalyptus 80/85, and am wondering which one will have better scent retention in CP soap? "

Staff Answer We have used the 80/82 in CP with good results. We recommend reading the reviews for both of these oils to make your own decision. Some people state they perform well while others said they added clay to anchor the scent.

"I notice that his item has a safe usage limit of 100% across the board. Yet, the Eucalyptus 80/82 has a safe usage limit of 2-5%. Why is that? One post said that this version has a higher cineole content and I would have expected this version to be the same usage limitations or lower? Thanks"

Staff Answer Lee Ann,
The Eucalyptus 80/82 is Cold Pressed and has a higher potency where as the Eucalyptus 80/85 is Steam Distilled and has a much weaker potency from the amount of water used in the distillation process. The main difference between the two is the extraction method. The purity is the same, but the potency is different. Also, Cineole is the component in the oil that gives it the camphorlike odor and does not affect the strength of a fragrance.

Staff Answer This is NOT a mistake. We have double checked the listing with the manufacture. The IFRA rating for our Crafter's Choice Eucalyptus (80/85) EO is 100% in lip products.

"If you are using two different essential oils in the same product at maximum usage rate for each per IFRA guidelines, should this amount be halved for each EO since you are using both oils?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer In terms of skin safety, no, you can use the full amount allowed for each EO. However, you may need to reduce the amount based on what type of product you are using the EO's in. You need to be sure not to exceed the maximum percent allowed for the product to ensure that the quality of your product is not compromised.

"The 80/85 means that the oil has been rectified so that the cineole (also called eucalptol) is increased from the crude up to 78% and rectified up to 85%. This increases the scent."

"As for melt and pour bases...what percent of oil per pound of base? Thanks! "

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Hello, Eucalyptus is a very strong essential oil and you only need a little. I recommend .30 to ounces per pound of soap. So if you are using one of WSP's 2 lb bases I suggest adding .50 to .60 ounces to your total base. Thank You For Your Question Erin

EO's will have a skin safe usage level which MUST be followed. Some EO's can only be used in very minimal amounts while others can be used at or near full strength.

Eucalyptus is a very potent essential oil. I would start with .5oz per pound of soap and use less or more from there. I have added 5% before and too much essential oils creates a very unfavorable scented bar.
