How to tell if this is for body spray


Nolnah

Recommended Posts

Hi

Im totally new to this and am interested in making a body mist out of this scent, since it doesn't seem to do well in Candle form and I adore it. My question is I don't specifically see body spray or body mist % so how can I tell which %to use or if this FO is OK for a body spray.

Is non aerosol room spray the correct term to search for? I just want to be safe.

Thanks ?

If you scroll down a little further on the link it'll give you all that information. I believe for sprays it said 7.3% ??? but double check for yourself to be sure :) 

Unless I missed something I didn't specifically see body spray - in cases like this I'd just call or email them. They've always been very nice to deal with.

BTW the FO description sound very pretty :) Please repost after you find out the specific details .

Thanks Moonstar I just sent them an email. Hopefully I'll get a response tomorrow.

The FO is amazing, it's soft a lightly vanillay floral but it has a *bitey* kind of undertone that sadly does not come through in candles.

Actually it says the IFRA rating is 6.35%. As a mist it would be a leave on product like lotion. Not a wash off product like soap which has the higher rating of 7.35%.

 

Leave on products have continuous skin contact until you wash it off. Soaps tend to have a higher rating because they have a much shorter contact with skin since they are a wash off product.

 

For example I make a body mist for a bug repellent. Its a leave on product so I have to use the IFRA rating for the particular FO or EO I am using in it to be skin safe.

TG you saw that and chimed in :) But I see Nolnah sent them an email to double check also.

Thanks candybee, that info about continuous skin contact vs wash off makes sense. I didn't think of it like that. Obviously testing will need to be done but I needed a starting point. I'm so picky about scents I can see myself amassing a huge collection of body mists, lol.

That math will yield more than 4 ounces total. But that is a pretty simple and consistent way to do it.  ifra measures as a percent of the entire product. Your math will be very slightly different. 

 

For body spray I would start at 1%.
