Fragrance not IFRA-12 approved for candles

IFRA Category 12 covers candle and air-care applications and sets ingredient limits specific to that use. A fragrance not approved for Category 12 may contain allergens or skin-sensitising compounds above the levels considered safe for indoor combustion. The rule fires when any selected fragrance is not marked IFRA Category 12 approved.

What this means for your recipe

When this rule fires the recipe loses 15 points and drops a band. Worth addressing before selling. The same rule fires every time the underlying condition is true, so the way to lift the score is to change the recipe, not the rule.
