Here at House of Scent, we believe in not only delivering the highest quality fragrance oils but also in equipping our customers with the essential documentation needed to create safe and compliant products. While paperwork may not be the most exciting part, it plays a vital role in ensuring that your creations meet safety standards, are legally compliant, and are accessible to all customers.
Whether you're making candles, wax melts, cosmetics, or other fragranced products, having the right documentation is key to protecting both your business and your customers. Understanding what each document is for can save you time, prevent costly mistakes, and help you confidently market your products.
At House of Scent, we provide a range of essential documents to support your fragrance journey. From Safety Data Sheets (SDS) that provide critical health and safety information to Allergen Declarations that help you cater to customers with sensitivities, each document serves an important purpose. We also supply IFRA Certificates, which outline the safe usage limits of each oil, ensuring your formulations stay within regulatory guidelines.
By making these documents readily available, we aim to make your product development process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Compliance doesn’t have to be overwhelming - when you have the right information at your fingertips, you can focus on what truly matters: creating high-quality, beautifully scented products that your customers will love.
Let’s dive into each document we provide and explore why it’s an essential part of your fragrance journey.
Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is like a fragrance oil’s resume, listing all the essential safety information. You’ll find details on everything from potential hazards to handling instructions, first aid measures and even how to dispose of the oil properly.
Why It Matters:
- Safe Handling: Fragrance oils are often concentrated and if handled improperly, can cause skin irritations or allergic reactions. An SDS provides clear instructions on handling oils safely, particularly helpful if you're scaling up to more substantial production.
- Emergency Preparedness: If there’s an accidental spill or reaction, the SDS gives guidance on the best course of action. This information could save you a lot of trouble and make your workspace safer.
- Storage Tips: Fragrance oils need specific storage conditions to maintain their quality and safety. The SDS will include details on ideal storage temperatures and conditions.
When you’re handling these potent oils, knowing that House of Scent has provided an SDS gives you peace of mind and helps you stay proactive with safety.
Allergen Declaration
The Allergen Declaration is a list of specific allergenic substances found in a fragrance oil, based on EU regulations. We all know that sensitivity to fragrance varies greatly - while some people can’t get enough of floral or woody notes, others might find certain components irritating. The allergen declaration gives you transparency on what’s inside each fragrance oil.
Why It Matters:
- Transparency for Consumers: If you’re creating products for sale, your customers might need to know if the oil contains any allergens. This declaration is required by law on your product’s label, so House of Scent saves you the time and effort of digging up this info.
- Custom Blending with Care: If you have fragrances custom blended, the allergen declaration helps you avoid doubling up on potentially irritating ingredients.
- Legal Compliance: EU and UK laws require you to disclose certain allergens if they exceed specific concentrations and the allergen declaration makes it easy for you to comply without a headache.
House of Scent makes sure every customer has access to the allergen declaration so that you’re free to create products without guesswork.
IFRA Conformity Certificate
The IFRA Conformity Certificate is like a map for safe fragrance creation. It’s issued by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), which sets safety standards for how much fragrance oil can safely be used in specific product types (like candles, soaps, and lotions). This certificate details the maximum safe usage level for each fragrance oil.
Why It Matters:
- Guidance on Usage Limits: The IFRA certificate tells you the exact maximum percentage of fragrance oil to use in various products to ensure consumer safety. Too much fragrance oil can cause skin irritations or other adverse reactions, so this certificate helps you stay within safe limits.
- Peace of Mind: As a crafter or business owner, you don’t want to worry about whether your products are safe. The IFRA Conformity Certificate gives you that reassurance.
- Consistency Across Products: If you’re using fragrance oils in multiple types of products, the IFRA certificate helps you apply them safely and consistently across each product category.
Thanks to the IFRA Conformity Certificate from House of Scent, you can create with confidence, knowing your creations will be safe for your customers.
CLP Information: Navigating Labels for Consumer Safety
The CLP (Classification, Labelling, and Packaging) information is a UK and EU requirement that specifies hazard information for chemicals and chemical mixtures, including fragrance oils. House of Scent provides two levels of CLP documentation - 10% for candles and wax melts in a Non-Hazardous Base and 25% for diffusers in a Non-Hazardous Base. CLP labels include hazard pictograms, precautionary statements, and instructions for safe usage.
Why It Matters:
- Legal Labelling Compliance: When selling candles, wax melts or diffusers in the UK, it’s mandatory to include CLP-compliant labels. Without these, you risk fines or being unable to sell your products.
- Clear Consumer Safety: CLP labels are straightforward and tell customers exactly what they need to know to handle a product safely. This keeps you transparent and builds trust with your buyers.
- Efficient Business Practices: With House of Scent providing the CLP details in both 10% and 25% options, you save time and avoid the hassle of figuring out compliance on your own.
House of Scent’s CLP information equips you with exactly what you need to stay compliant and keep your customers safe while adding that professional polish to your product labels.
