Bergamot givco

[Italian pigeon musk]

Bergamot is restricted to .4% if I want to use a larger percentage in a formula is bergamot givco a solid substitute?

I'm also having questions about specific citrus materials and their restrictions.

Grapefruit pink I found is restricted to 4%
Lemon cold pressed 2%
Bitter Orange 1.25%

I also have
mandarin red italy eo: 8008-31-9
blood orange Italy: 8028-48-6
Orange sweet USA : 8028-48-6
Clementine Italy: 8008-31-9
Which I did not find any restrictions for? Am I correct or is there something I am missing?

Is there a common isolate in any or all of these citruses that needs to be totaled and fall under a specific % ?

Forgive my citrus ignorance, just trying to make sure things fall under IFRA compliance.

FCF bergamot EO is unrestricted; you could just use that.

I'm us

FCF bergamot EO is unrestricted; you could just use that.

I'm using this:
68648-33-9 BERGAMOT - ESSENTIAL OIL (BF) - CALABRIA, IT **
From PA, "We have ensured that this direct-source Bergamot (Bergapten Free) Essential Oil is 100% unadulterated, pure and natural. "

Are you talking about this, bergapten free or is FCF different?

 

[ourmess]

FCF and BF are the same thing. FCF means "FuranoCoumarin Free", and BF means "Bergapten Free", where bergapten is just the specific furanocoumarin found in bergamot EO.

So yours is unrestricted.

The first part was answered for you - the second part: yes, those are unrestricted oils in and of themselves but as you said they do contain other restricted materials such as citral. Sweet Orange is listed in the standards under citral under a different CAS of 5392-40-5 (something you should be mindful of when searching: use the common name too just in case). The annexes to IFRA 49 list Citral in sweet orange as 0.15. I'm attaching the citral document so you can see for yourself.

I strongly recommend downloading the library and its documents so you can do an easy search in your operating systems file system for various CAS numbers and material names - it makes life easier.

To download it go to this page and look for "IFRA Standards Library - 49th Amendment (ZIP - 43MB)"

Here's a link for the entire library just in case it works - it will save you searching.

End note: you may wonder why these 0.15% amounts matter if the material itself is 100% IFRA compliant at 100%. The reason is that you may directly add the maximum citral directly to your formula and then decide later to add 20g or 100g of sweet orange. The citral hidden in the orange will take you over the IFRA limit. You must account for TOTAL citral in your fragrance so while the orange won't take you over the limit on its own, it may do in conjunction with other oils or direct chemical additions.

Thank you Jaime,
Very helpful, I was able to download it and can now use a file search like you said, makes things much easier.
Much appreciated!

It is also worth keeping a spreadsheet if you can get one of your national regulations which also usually list CAS numbers - then you can cover all bases
