Every fragrance oil will list the maximum rates allowed by IFRA.
The numbered categories are listed below. Just match your product's category number to the one listed in our fragrance oil's description and that will be the maximum amount allowed. This number is not the actual usage rate, just the maximum safety rate.
IFRA 49th Amendment (January 2020)
"The IFRA standards regarding use restrictions are based on safety assessments by the Research Institute for Fragrance
Materials (RIFM) Expert Panel (REXPAN), and are enforced by the IFRA Scientific Committee. Evaluation of individual fragrance materials is made according to the safety standards contained in the relevant section of the IFRA Code of Practice.
It is the ultimate responsibility of the customer to ensure the safety of the final product containing fragrance, by further testing, if necessary."
