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.

"Don't Use a Stick Blender - Seriously!" |
|
COMMENTS: Even the smallest pulse with a stick blender will seize soap instantly! I've tried two CP batches, room temp., pulsed one tiny time and it seized. Just stir for a few seconds and dump it in the mold.

"Save for other projects" |
|
COMMENTS: Definitely seized up on me! I've used this scent in other things, like bath bombs and melt and pour without any issues. This oil did rice very slightly on me as well. I love the scent but it just did not want to behave!

"I wanted to love this scent" |
|
COMMENTS: Oh my stars does this smell so good! I was super excited to try this scent and within 10 seconds of adding the scent to my oils, it completely solidified....I'm talking concrete! I left it sit until it turned to the gel stage and then packed it into my box. Maybe it would do better in HP.

"Soap on a stick - super sad!!!" |
|
COMMENTS: Along with a bunch of other scents from this collection, I was completely let down by this one as well. The smell is absolutely amazing but the moment you pour the FO into the batter, you only have about 10-15 seconds until your soap will completely solidify. I soap at room temp and this FO states slight roving and no acceleration but I had zero ricing and severe acceleration. Amazing smell and I have made sugar scrubs with it but will never put it in a CP soap ever again unless I want to do one plain color.
