General Fragrance Load Calculator
We know that calculating fragrance load for your ready-to-use bases—like foaming hand soap, room spray, and body mist—can be confusing. That’s why we created this Fragrance Load Calculator to make it fast and stress-free for both testing and production.
How It Works:
1️⃣ Enter your total finished product weight
2️⃣ Choose your unit of measurement (grams, ounces, mL, or fl. oz)
3️⃣ Enter your fragrance load percentage
4️⃣ Select the number of batches
5️⃣ Hit "Calculate" and get instant results!
No more guesswork—just accurate measurements to help you test, tweak, and create with confidence.
Testing Your Fragrance Load
We strongly encourage you to conduct your own personal testing for each fragrance formulation. While these guidelines provide a great starting point, every fragrance behaves differently depending on its composition. Factors like solubility and performance can vary, so it's essential to test and adjust as needed to achieve the best results for your specific formulation.
| Product | Recommended Fragrance Load | IFRA Compliance Category |
|---|---|---|
| Room Spray Base | 7-10% (up to 15% possible but may cause separation) | Category 10B |
| Reed Diffuser Base | 20% | Category 10A |
| Body Mist Base | 2-5% (more can be added, ensure test) | Category 2 (or Category 4 for non‑axillae use) |
| Foaming Hand Soap Base | 0.5-1% (up to 2%) | Category 9 |
| Lotion Base | 1‑2% fragrance load is recommended (a little fragrance goes a long way!), although up to a recommended maximum of 4% can be added | 5A Body Lotion; 5B Face Moisturizer; 5C Hand Cream; 5D Baby Cream |
