⚠️ IMPORTANT MIXING NOTES

• Mix gently to avoid excess bubbles
  
• Always use clean, dry containers
  
• Do not exceed recommended fragrance load
  
• Fragrance strength may vary by scent

When blending two or more fragrances, the total fragrance amount must stay within the lowest allowed usage rate for your application.

Example:
If Fragrance A allows up to 60% and Fragrance B allows up to 30%, your finished blend must stay at or below 30% total.

To blend successfully:

• Measure each fragrance by weight
  
• Split the total fragrance amount between the scents based on how strong you want each one
  
• Do not exceed the maximum allowed fragrance load for your application
  

This keeps your blend safe, compliant, and performing exactly as intended.

Maker Tip:
Think of your fragrance load as one total amount you’re simply dividing it between scents, not adding extra fragrance.

This guide provides general labeling and claim-safe marketing guidance for finished hand soap products made using this base.

Inside, you’ll find:

• FDA-compliant INCI ingredient listings
  
• Unscented and scented label examples
  
• Claim-safe marketing language you may use
  
• Common claims to avoid
  
• Guidance for U.S. and international sellers
  

This information is provided for educational purposes only. Customers are responsible for ensuring their finished products comply with all applicable labeling and regulatory requirements.

An IFRA certificate explains the maximum amount of fragrance that can be safely used in a finished product for a specific application (such as soap, candles, or laundry).

It’s important to understand that the maximum usage percentage listed on an IFRA is a safety limit not a recommended amount. Using less is often better for performance, scent balance, and customer experience.

How to Use IFRA Guidelines

• Always stay at or below the maximum usage level listed
  
• Measure fragrance by weight, not by volume
  
• Test each fragrance in your product to find the best-performing amount
  

Every fragrance behaves differently, so testing helps you achieve the best scent strength while staying safe and compliant.

Tip for Beginners

Think of the IFRA limit as a ceiling, not a goal. You don’t need to use the maximum amount for a product to smell great.
