How do I decide how much Crafter’s Choice Essential Oil Natural Blend to use in a formula?
• Check the recommended amount in the application it is being used. • Check the recommended amount for maximum skin use. • Check the maximum amount that can be used for the packaging you are using. • The lowest of numbers 1 – 3 will be the maximum amount of fragrance you can use. Let’s look at an example for producing a container candle with IGI 4633 Wax and Crafter’s Choice Bergamot Grapefruit Natural EO Blend: • Fragrance in 4633 Wax (Application): 1-8% • Fragrance Bergamot Grapefruit Natural EO Blend Recommended Max for Skin: 100% • Fragrance in Glass Jar Packaging: 100% • Maximum Fragrance for Formula: 8% (lowest of 1-3) Let’s look at another example for producing lotion using the Crafter’s Choice Goats Milk Lotion Base and Crafter’s Choice Eucalyptus Spearmint Natural EO Blend: • Fragrance in Goats Milk Lotion (Application): 5% • Fragrance Angel Food Cake Recommended Max for Skin Contact: 1.8% • Fragrance in PET Plastic Bottle: 5% • Maximum Fragrance for Formula: 1.
