SCENTING GUIDE - Use to determine how much fragrance or essential oils to add to your products
The amount of fragrance to add to a lotion base depends on several factors such as the strength of the fragrance oil, the desired level of scent intensity, and the volume of lotion being made. A general rule of thumb is to add fragrance oil at a rate of 1-3% of the total weight of the lotion, body wash, body butter of product.
To determine the exact amount of fragrance oil to add, you can use a fragrance calculator or follow the recommended usage rate provided by the fragrance oil manufacturer. It's important to note that adding too much fragrance oil can cause skin irritation or affect the stability and texture of the product, so it's always best to start with a lower amount and gradually increase as needed.
It's also a good idea to conduct a patch test on a small area of skin before using the lotion all over to ensure that the fragrance is not too strong or irritating for your skin.
