How to Determine Max. Fragrance Level

A product’s fragrance level is very important, yet not totally understood by all customers. I thought this would be a good time to do a quick review.

When determining how much fragrance to add to a product, you need to consider three factors. They are:

1. How much fragrance your base will accept?
2. How much fragrance is skin safe?
3. How much fragrance your packaging choice is allowed?

Your maximum fragrance level will be the LOWEST of all of these 3 percentages. For example:

1. A lotion performs well at a fragrance max level of 6%
2. A fragrance is safe at max of 3%
3. A PET bottle likely leak/warp at a fragrance level over 5%
   

In this example, the maximum amount of fragrance you should use is 3% ~ the lowest of all of these numbers.

I hope this answers many of your questions. I will cover it further in a video WSP is producing for this summer!
