I am totally in agreement with you on sellers listing IFRA, plus all info pertaining to what this can do in different applications. I was told in the beginning of my soaping adventure years ago to check IFRA and usage rates WILL vary in different applications of any form. I am so glad! I think I read this in a soaping book I purchased! I am so glad you brought this up. I hadn't realized that there may be folks out there that haven't heard this important information. Maybe write to the manufacturer about the glitter. They could save money on not using the glitter. They might like to know it is not working. HAPPY EASTER, TAMMY Cheers 👍🤗🐰🐣

hey Cheryl! you know, I don't even remember the first time I heard about IFRA. It wasn't that many years ago (4 maybe??)😱 - I think I made soaps for several years before I did. No one really talked about it (youtubers or blogs) until relatively recently. I wonder how many soaps that I made that were way off. I remember Brambleberry not having the documents available (at least that I could find) - they only had their fo calculator. I think WSP was kind of the same.

I am so glad you did well. I told you they are good sellers. On the other hand mine are from WSS and you ate totally right on candle science cs, they are the best. I even reach out to them asking how to make some custom fragrance one of my customers want me to replicate from a Disney cruise she went and they told me exactly what to use. Great! Tip- use the empty glass bottles from used fragrances for your pre mix

Bulk Apothecary is the only site I can find a pumpkin scented oil over 25% so far... However the price is much higher than the candle making supply sites you mentioned... $1.87 per ounce at 16oz vs $1.20-$1.50 for many choices on The Flaming Candle at the same size.

Hi Mary! Sure I will hope to help - when you purchase a FO look at the IFRA document that is available - look at line 10A, if it is over 20-25% you can use it UP TO what that max shows. This does not mean you should use 80% if that is what it shows. - that is just throwing money away, I would still stick to 25% if it showed 80%. That is MY max that I will use. Kind of like wax melts, my wax holds up to 12% but I refuse to use more than 10% (I'm stubborn sometimes LOL) but financially I won't use a FO if I can't get a good scent throw at 10 I hope that helps!!

Hi! yes and no LOL The IFRA tells us how much we are SAFE to use - not how much we should use. If it states on 10A that 18.52 is the max, we can use up to 18.52 If it states 70% is the max, we can use UP TO 70% - would we want to tho? I would not. I feel that is not at all cost effective. If it states anything over 25% I just stick to 25%. I have had success lower than 25% if I can't go to that amount. Good luck!🤗

I cant tell so i have literally been making one diffuser at a time because when i tried to make 5 or 10 it appeared the two oils werent mixing well. ?? i felt each diffuser would have an uneven amount of scent by making a larger batch . idk. im probably crazy.. 😂 it is messy and i spill alot. ive found a large syringe was easier to fill with than the mini funnels or beakers.. Ive never considered anything other than a 1/3 ratio on lighhter scents and 1/5 on strong scents such as Coffee and Nag Champa.. a 1/3 ratio cause my head to hurt in the car when testing the scents were soooo strong I had to roll all windows down..

hello! I have never had separation, I have started master batching them in 4 oz amber bottles and then mix well before I put in diffuser bottles. I also stir the base as I fill to keep it all well combined. I only ever go up to 25% on fo (if I can per IFRA) - some scents are lighter that others obviously but I need it standardized. It helps with costs and just mentally being able to compare one with another I also spill a lot LOL - syringes are a great idea, but I think I would spill more with that than the pipettes I currently use 😂

You look bright and cute It's nice to implement projects yourself Can you tell me what materials you are mixing? I am from an Arab country and there is no one who gives useful information Stay well, cutie

It's really too bad the "nicer" bottles didn't work better. They're very pretty.

I know Andi - I was bummed. I was ready to spend the extra money on them too - they are about $1.25 more each, so I am trying to look at it like I am able to pass my savings on, but as it is I am stuck with that stupid glitter string...unless I can find a way to swap it 🤔💞
