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 20.2%. 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, Fizzies & 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.

"Grown up summer scent" |
|
COMMENTS: Ordered this on a whim and was very impressed with the scent. It's not overly fruity or too sweet. It is very balanced with an earthy base that smells like a lovely summer perfume.

"Moves fast and discolora" |
|
COMMENTS: Fabulous fragrance but moves too fast in cp soap and turns the batter yellow...even with adding td. This is probably better suited for lotions and sprays in my opinion

"Not exactly melon-y" |
|
COMMENTS: I'm not sure how I feel about this. The loaf of CP soap I made with it is about four days old now and doesn't smell like melon at all. It does have a kind of nondescript perfume smell, though, and it's not a bad one.
Other than that, I had no problems with it. No ricing, no acceleration, nada. I'm very interested to see where the scent is a month from now.
