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.

"3 stars for CP only" |
|
COMMENTS: I have used this FO in bath bombs and MP and no problems, really liked it. Just made a CP loaf with it. I added the FO to the oils, pulsed with stick blender for 20 seconds and then used a whisk. It thickened up quickly although not catastrophic. Was able to flop it into the mold. Can't speak to how the scent holds as I literally just made it.

"Nice Smell" |
|
COMMENTS: When I saw this new scent I wanted to try it because of the "saffron" being in it's name.
I love the Redwood Saffron scent and was thinking this one was going to be lighter for summer.
It was lighter but not quite strong enough for me. I feel like I want to add something to this fragrance to kick it up a notch. It's kind of a pretty scent and I was going for a more uni-sex type scent. Over all this is a good fragrance. I would use it in Body Sprays, shampoos and conditioners, and lotions. If I make more soap or shampoo bars with it, I will add more fragrance or add something to it to pull out some of the back notes I smell.
