Question: I am wondering if anyone can tel me how to read this EU Allergen Sheet and Safety Data Sheet to know which aromachem(s) is the offender?
So, this Crafter's choice Christmas Woods FO has a maximum IFRA of 5.10. If I wanted to blend it with another FO so that I could have 6% FO in my soap, and I wanted to make absolutely sure it were a safe blend,
how do I read these two documents to get the information I need?
I did think that I could write to WSP and ask them. But, to be honest, I don't think their staff is that knowledgeable. Their fragrance calculator calculates the same amount of fragrance for M&P as it does for Cold Process. I think it is generally recommended that for M&P its better not to use more than 3% FO. I contacted them last Spring and let them know their calculator was calculating the same for M&P as for CP. They said , "excuse us, we'll make that correction." But, they never did.
So, I think I'll ask on this forum before I ask them. I also noticed that the Safety Data Sheet says on page 1 "this mixture has not been tested as a whole." Does that mean that they didn't test to see if their combination of ingredients or "aroachems" (if that's what they are called) was safe?
I will probably only ever use the method proposed by @lucycat to make a blend. But, I was thinking that one day I might get inspired to be more precise.....
I noticed that on WSP, for some FO's they have both the EU Allegen Sheet and the SDS, for others, they only have one or the other. Can either one of those be used alone?
