IFRA Guidelines for Maximum Dilution

Maximum dilution for this fragrance oil depends on the products you plan on making.

It should be noted that maximum dilutions are from a safety aspect only, based on the chemical composition of the oil. In some cases, these are very high, because all components are relatively benign. These amounts are not necessarily recommendations of how much to use in your recipe. They may smell too strong or make the item prohibitively expensive to produce. As long as you remain below the advised limits, you can be as generous or parsimonious as you like. Use more, use less. We’ll leave the creative stuff to you.

The following maximum dilutions apply based on the ingredients used, as per the International Fragrance Regulation Authority.
