Rustic Escentuals, Inc. certifies that this fragrance product is in compliance with the standards of the International Fragrance Association, provided the fragrance is used in the above application (s) at the noted maximum concentration level(s).
The "Maximum Use Level for Skin Exposure" is the amount of fragrance, flavor and essential oil that can come in contact with the skin. 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’ve made several batches in gold process soap. No acceleration and it sells like crazy. I loved it so much I put it in body butters. You can’t go wrong with this scent.
COMMENTS: This FO soaps without issue, with no A or D. At 5% of my oils, it has faded a bit and lost some complexity, but still has clear "green" and lavender notes. I think I would increase to 6% in CP soap, for a moderately scented bar. It blends beautifully, and definitely tones down strong florals like jasmine. Useful for bringing green notes to a blend. It's great in other bath and body applications.
COMMENTS: Let me first say how thrilled I was with how quickly I received my recent order....I ordered over a dozen different scents and are all amazing!! I soaped with Ming Fern and Lavender last night. It soaps beautifully and smells great. Thanks to those who post reviews...I always use them to help me select new fragrances...I am going to try to review more often. This company is fast becoming my favorite place for fragrance oils!!

"I can't tell you how many..."
COMMENTS: I can't tell you how many bottles of this I've bought over the years, but let me tell you this, It is a staple in my soap making business. I'm not a fan of lavender by itself, so when I came across this one, I was a bit hesitant, but it quickly became my most favorite lavender blend ever. I usually don't carry lavender scented products but whenever I'm at a fair and a customer asks for it, I introduce them to this blend and it sells without fail every time. Advantages: Behaves beautifully in cold process soap with no issues what so ever. Disadvantages: None
