Scenting Guide

These are industry guidelines for scenting bulk bases with your Essential or Fragrance Oils. Just use your judgment when scenting and start low and with a small portion of product so you don't ruin the entire base. Be advised that we will not replace your base if you over scent and damage the base. The most common issue is with the Shampoos and Gels as they are very pH picky and if you over scent then it will liquefy the product into water and there is almost no way to fix it. So be cautious when doing them, because you can always add more but you can't take it out.
