Directions: All About IFRA
We have IFRA on all fragrance oils and flavor oils on our website.
What do the maximum levels mean? Let's use Almond Paradise as an example. The IFRA guidelines on this state that there are no restrictions for soaps, shampoos, lotions, etc. So does that mean you can use 100% in your product? No. That would mean your product consists of straight fragrance oil.
The IFRA states the *max* that can be used, not the recommended amount. It is the responsibility of the maker to do their research to see what the recommended usage rate of fragrance oil for their particular recipe is.
For soap, as a general rule of thumb you will use up to 5% of fragrance oil in Cold Process (CP) soap and up to 3% in Melt and Pour (M&P) soap.
So, if you see a fragrance oil and the IFRA says 23% for soap, don't use 23%. IFRA is important when it comes to lower numbers. There are a few fragrance oils that have max usage rates that are less than the percentages shown above. In that case, you can only use the max shown for the oil.

COMMENTS: I have to admit, this isn't something I would normally get- I'm not too keen on sweet fruit scents. But with the scent profile description, I just HAD to try it. Fruity, woody, with a hint of PEPPER? It almost doesn't seem like it would be cohesive- but it is!!! I use this with a touch of a muskier scent, and it's one of my most popular perfumes! Definitely give this a try, as it isn't too fruity, sweet, acrid, or musky- it's a good balance all around!

"Beautiful"
COMMENTS: This FO soaps beautifully with no A or D. At four months, it remains true and moderately scented (used at 5% of my oils). A unique scent in the fruit family, with a gorgeous wood/earth note. A keeper. Would be good in other bath and body applications, and would make a beautiful candle.

"What a beautiful blend! ..."
COMMENTS: What a beautiful blend! The currants dance around your nose, but the lingering notes of the patchouli and amber make this fragrance so exquisite! Excellent throw in parasoy wax, and a definite keeper in my book! Advantages: Currant scents can often be sharp or bitter -- the additional woodsy notes really tone and mellow it out.
