Michi Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yes, I'm all paranoid now about sending my sugar scrub out into the REAL world, the world of B&Bers that will critize and scrutinize it to death!! LOLMe, I like strong candles, strong lotion, perfume, and scrubs, but sometimes I've made scrubs/lotions/sprays too strong even for ME. Just wanted to kind of get an idea of what everyone else does.

Bunny Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 1% Fo or less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Really? So for 32oz. that would only be .32oz of fragrance?? Hmmmm Me thinks I may be in trouble!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Oh no! It really doesn't take all that much to scent most stuff! How much did you add, and is the fo still within it's "safe" percentage? Is it lower than about 3%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativecandles Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I also go for 1% in my lotions and scrubs, you get a great scent, really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawyer's moon Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 For me...it depends on the fo and my mood! No way in hell I'm going to go over .5% on a rose (that's strong enough thank you very much!...but I might do 2% of Ambra de Nepal. Make sense? I say...try 1% (or if you KNOW it's strong - .5%) and adjust up if necessary. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Okay, Michi - spill it. How much have you been using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Oh I don't use THAT much, but on this batch I tried. .3oz for my 32 oz. batch (which would bsically be 1%) but didn't think it was enough so I added another .2oz for a total of .5oz. which is what about 2% right?? Is that too much?Ok, now I feel stupid, how do I find out the FO's "safe" percentage range?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Yup, that's just a bit over 2%, you're fine girl.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 i normally stick around 1%, however some of my fragrances are not as strong as others, so depending on the scent it could be less than 1% or a little more than 1% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
