The IFRA rate is the safety rate. The percentage is a maximum. This is how much can come in contact with your skin when making this particular product without causing irritation. Even if a percentage is high, it doesn't mean you have to use the maximum.
The percentage of fragrance oil is a calculation of the total. If you make a 1 kg soap or candle and the maximum percentage is 5%, the maximum you can use is the following:
1000 grams x 0.05 = 50 milliliters of fragrance oil.

Dieser Duft gehört schon ewig zu meinen liebsten, er ist alltagstauglich, man wird ihn niemals leid und er gefällt einfach jedem, den ich kenne. Er hebt die Laune, macht Mut und ist belebend. Sanft blumig, aber nicht zu feminin.

Zalige zoete zachte geur die het ook goed doet in cold process zeep. Aanrader!
