IFRA Notes:  The International Fragrance Association publishes safe use guidelines for aromatic materials including essential oils.  Clove Oil contains eugenol, a naturally occurring aroma chemical subject to safe use limits and as such, it is subject to use restrictions.  IFRA safe-use guidelines vary depending on the type of product being made.  There are 12 main IFRA categories with some having sub-categories.   If formulating with Clove oil, including for household cleaning and air care, we recommend checking your product category against IFRA data and the oil C of A to ensure compliance.   Please note, as IFRA guidelines and product category descriptors do change from time to time, it’s best to ensure you are using the most up-to-date information when formulating.
