Under the description of each of their products is a link to ask a question. You might try that to ask the maximum usage rate.

OT has some beautiful fragrances (like Mysore Sandalwood and a couple others), but I don't think Suz (if she is still the owner) really stays on top of the website and so other than the couple FOs I love, I don't shop there anymore. There is no IFRA apparent (that I can see) and her soap notes are either not helpful or non-existent--for example, I picked a random fragrance just now to see, and it had this:
Soap Performance: Excellent?
Candle: Ok
Doesn't really help. In addition, she doesn't ask for or post reviews that I have seen. Other websites that don't specifically address performance usually have reviews, and you can sometimes find out how an FO behaves from those. I used OT a lot when I started with M&P many years ago--I didn't know about IFRA and acceleration and stuff. But now that I mostly do CP, I have found more informative vendor websites, and I only use OT for a couple FOs that I've used for 15+ years.
Thanks for your reply. There are a handful I really like from OT too and like you I would buy more from them if there was more info as I have started making more products and would really like to have that information easily accessible. Kind of a bummer!
Not to hijack your thread, @Jersey Girl, but I'm so glad to hear that you are making more products. Would love to hear/see more when you are are ready to share.
