Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and fresh green cucumbers combine into a softly provocative fragrance! But "soft" does not imply it isn't strong! This is not a wimpy Cucumber Melon, this is the version you wish you had found the first time you ever purchased Cucumber Melon, the one you keep searching for and haven't "quite" been able to find. With its versatility in candle and body applications, let the cross-merchandising begin!

It does not mean that your base product can perform at these levels. You must test each oil in each application for evaluation of desired performance. Baby products have lower use levels than those listed above. If a desired application is not listed above, please call us at 216-503-9361 for maximum skin levels for skin exposure.

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 tried several other Cucumber Melon FOs in cold process soap and they all faded or the scent morphed. This one not only worked beautifully in CP, allowing me to do a complicated design but, also the scent stayed true with no fading or morphing. I soaped around 110 F. and had no problems at all. I highly recommend trying this one in cold process if you like the scent Cucumber Melon. Advantages: Great scent retention and well behaved in CP Disadvantages: That I didn’t try it sooner.
