Choose options
Our Unscented Concentrated Laundry Detergent Base is easy to use! No additional additives are needed. We recommend up to a 2% fragrance load. Simply add fragrance oil and stir. Mix thoroughly for 3-5 minutes. Allow it to rest for 24-28 hours before using. **Special note: Double check category 10a on the Ifra sheet for the fragrance that you're using to make sure it's at least 2% usage (it should be). If it's lower, then you want to use that amount instead.
For example, when making a 16 oz batch, measure out 0.32 oz of fragrance oil and 15.68 oz of base and mix together.
Please note: Again, always check this against the maximum usage rate for your particular fragrance oil under the IFRA guidelines, which is found on each product page. For example, if making laundry detergent with fragrance that only allows 1% for laundry products (category 10a), then you are only able to use 1% load instead of the normal 2%. Make sure to test with different fragrances.
How do you calculate the amount of fragrance oil to use?
First, you need to know what percentage of fragrance oil you want to use. The average usage is 6%.
Here is a basic formula:
(oz of wax using) x (% of fragrance oil you want to use) = (oz of fragrance oil needed)
For example, let's say you are using two pounds of wax and want to use 6% fragrance oil.
First, you'll need to calculate the number of ounces of wax you have:
2 x 16 (number of oz in 1 pound) = 32oz
Plug these numbers into your formula:
32 x 6% = 1.92oz
You can round up to 2oz for easy measuring on your scale.
Below, I created an easy fragrance load calculator where it will calculate the amount of fragrance oil needed in both ounces and grams.
