Body/Mist Spray Base Instruction Sheet

Our oil-soluble Body Mist Spray Base is specifically formulated to blend seamlessly with fragrance oils for excellent aromatic performance. Its 100% water-free formula promotes thorough fragrance incorporation and excellent aroma-carrying capacity while providing an anhydrous environment that is naturally less supportive of microbial growth than traditional water-based formulations. Easy to customize with your favorite fragrance oils, our Body Mist Spray Base is bath and body safe and Prop 65 compliant as supplied. Finished formulations must be evaluated separately.

Before starting: Prepare a clean, dry work area and gather a precision scale, clean mixing vessel, stirring utensil, fragrance oil and a compatible fine-mist bottle. Review the fragrance's current IFRA certificate for the intended use. Work with adequate ventilation and away from ignition sources. Review the safety data sheets (SDS) for the base and fragrance before use.

Use clean, completely dry utensils and containers suitable for alcohol-containing personal fragrance products. Avoid introducing water or contaminants. Verify that the bottle, cap, seal and sprayer are compatible with the complete formula.

Define the finished product's intended application before selecting a fragrance percentage. A typical formulation starting range is 5–20% fragrance by finished-product weight, but the applicable IFRA maximum for the specific fragrance and use may be lower, including below 5%. Always formulate at or below that limit. IFRA limits are maximum restrictions, not recommended formulation targets.

Example: For 100 g of finished spray at 10% fragrance, weigh 90 g base and 10 g fragrance oil.

IFRA application: Fine fragrances/perfumes and deodorant or antiperspirant products can fall under different IFRA categories (commonly Category 4 and Category 2, respectively). Do not classify a product by its name alone. Intended use, application site and exposure determine the applicable category. A general body spray is not automatically Category 2 or Category 4; verify the current IFRA guidance for the actual use, especially for underarm or other sensitive-area applications.

Place your mixing vessel on a precision scale and tare to zero. Weigh the required amount of Body/Mist Spray Base according to your finished-product formula.

Separately weigh your selected fragrance oil, confirming it is suitable for the intended cosmetic application. Add it slowly to the measured base. Although this base is designed for compatibility with California Candle Supply fragrance oils and many oil-based fragrances, individual blends still require testing.

Stir until uniformly incorporated. No added water or heating is required. Inspect for separation, cloudiness or unexpected changes; results may vary by fragrance and concentration.

Transfer into an appropriate fine-mist or perfume bottle. Evaluate the finished formulation for physical stability, spray performance, packaging compatibility, fragrance quality and safety for its intended use. Confirm appropriate storage, shelf life and any required safety warnings before sale or distribution. An anhydrous base does not eliminate the need for appropriate manufacturing hygiene or finished-product safety assessment.

Cosmetic products intended for sale must be labeled according to the laws applicable to their destination and sales channel. In the United States, cosmetic ingredient declarations generally list ingredients by their appropriate cosmetic names in descending order of predominance, subject to regulatory exceptions (for example, certain ingredients at 1% or less may be listed in any order after ingredients above 1%; special rules can apply to color additives and fragrance declarations). Determine the correct declaration from the complete finished formula, not simply from the order in which the base and fragrance were mixed.

Ingredient Identification & Finished Product Labeling: California Candle Supply provides Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for its Body/Mist Spray Base and fragrance oils. Section 3 (Composition/Information on Ingredients) includes ingredient identification, CAS numbers, and applicable weight concentrations or concentration ranges. These documents can assist manufacturers in evaluating the composition of their finished products and preparing ingredient declarations.

Finished cosmetic products must be labeled in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including the use of appropriate cosmetic ingredient names and ingredient ordering requirements. In general, cosmetic ingredients are declared in descending order of predominance, subject to applicable regulatory exceptions.

The finished-product manufacturer is responsible for determining the complete ingredient composition, verifying the accuracy of all ingredient declarations, and ensuring compliance with applicable labeling, safety, testing, and marketing requirements. Requirements may vary depending on the intended application, jurisdiction, marketplace, and distribution channel.

California Candle Supply's SDS documents are provided as ingredient and safety references and should not be considered a complete cosmetic labeling certification or a substitute for evaluating the finished formulation. SDS ingredient listings may include chemical rather than cosmetic (INCI) names, concentration ranges, or disclosures limited by applicable SDS requirements. Obtain any additional ingredient information needed to prepare an accurate finished-product label.

Depending on the market and product, labeling may also require a product identity, net quantity, responsible business name/address, warnings, directions, and other information. Check applicable requirements for your jurisdiction and the platforms where the product is sold. Claims such as deodorizing, antiperspirant, antimicrobial or therapeutic effects can affect regulatory classification and obligations.

Important manufacturer notice: California Candle Supply provides this base as a raw material for further formulation. The individual or business making, packaging, labeling, marketing, distributing or selling the finished product is responsible for determining its regulatory classification, verifying ingredient information, assessing finished-product safety and stability, selecting suitable packaging, preparing accurate and compliant labels, substantiating claims, and meeting all applicable laws and requirements in every market and sales channel where the product is offered.

Compliance statements for the base as supplied—including its stated California Proposition 65 status—do not establish compliance of a finished formulation containing additional ingredients. An IFRA certificate for a fragrance does not by itself establish that the finished product is legally compliant or safe for every use. This instruction sheet is general educational guidance and is not a regulatory approval, certification, legal opinion, or substitute for review of the completed product and its labeling.

Your customized fragrance spray is ready for final evaluation and labeling before use or distribution!
