NO. 169 - Palo Santo - Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles
NO. 169 - Palo Santo is a warm and spicy fragrance for women and men. It was designed to emulate the glorious, warm, buttery aroma of the revered Palo Santo wood.
Profoundly sacred Palo Santo wood is widely used for indigenous spiritual practices in Peru and Ecuador. Palo Santo’s energetic vibrations are now in demand the world over. However, that demand is endangering its natural habitats; therefore, choosing Palo Santo-inspired fragrance oils like NO. 169 eases the pressure on those precious natural resources. Not only do you get an incredible Palo Santo fragrance, but you can also feel virtuous about it. It's where effortless sophistication meets earthy clarity.

Understanding The IFRA Guidelines for Maximum Dilution
The maximum dilution for this fragrance oil depends on the products you are planning on making. It should be noted that maximum dilutions are from a safety aspect only, based on the chemical composition of the oil.
In some cases, these are very high because all components are relatively benign. These amounts are not necessarily recommendations of how much to use in your recipe. They may smell too strongly or make the item prohibitively expensive to produce.
As long as you remain below the advised limits, you can be as generous or as frugal as you like. Use more, use less. We’ll leave the creative stuff to you.
Based on the ingredients used, as per the International Fragrance Regulation Authority, the maximum dilutions given above apply.
