Unit conversions

Units!




In the fragrance and perfume industry, several units are used, including grams, milliliters, g/mL, ppm, ppb, percent, fl.oz., and lbs. Understanding how to convert these units is crucial to the production and quality control of fine fragrances. This article will explore some of the commonly used units in the fine fragrance industry and provide a calculator to make the conversion process easier.

1. Gram to Milliliter Conversion using Specific Gravity:
One of the most common conversions in the fine fragrance industry is converting grams to milliliters. This conversion is typically done using density, which is the measure of the mass of a substance per unit volume. To convert grams to milliliters, you need to know the density of the substance. For example, the density of water is 1 g/mL. Therefore, 1 gram of water is equal to 1 milliliter of water.

Enter the weight in grams
 
 
 

 

The result is: mL


2. Percent to ppm Conversion:
ppm (parts per million) is a unit of concentration that is commonly used in the fragrance industry to express the concentration of a particular substance in a mixture. (Furocoumarines, Impurities and so on) To convert percent to ppm, you need to multiply the percent value by 10,000.


3. ppm to Percent Conversion:


4. ml to fl.oz.

In the fine fragrance industry, for artwork on outbox we print the perfume’s volume with mL and fl.oz.. When you want to label with estimated sign “ e ” (U+212E), you can use fl.oz(UK). If not, you can use fl.oz.(US).

IFRA 50th Certification Creator / Calculator

IFRA, or the International Fragrance Association, is an organization that represents the global fragrance industry. They have developed a set of standards, known as the IFRA Standards, which are designed to ensure the safe use of fragrance materials and to promote good manufacturing practices. The IFRA Standards include a list of restricted substances, as well as guidelines for the safe use of fragrances in different types of products. Compliance with these standards is not mandatory, but many companies choose to follow them as a best practice. To better understand the application of the IFRA Standards, we have also included a table outlining which product categories fall into each IFRA Class. This information can help you determine which category apply to your specific product and ensure that you are meeting the necessary requirements. Please note that for Ifra categories 1 and 6, all ingredients must have a FEMA number. Additionally, you should check the relevant r...

Accelerated Stability Testing Calculator

As a perfumer in the individual artisan perfume industry, my top priority is creating fragrances that not only captivate the senses but are also safe for consumers. A key aspect in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of cosmetic products is stability testing. Stability testing measures how well a product retains its quality and consistency over time, including important factors such as appearance, fragrance, texture, and pH levels. In this blog article, I'll be sharing a valuable tool for perfumers and cosmetic companies alike: a calculator that uses the Arrhenius equation to determine the guarantee days through accelerated-stability testing at a higher temperature. It calculates the duration for which a product remains stable under these conditions. Start date: End date: Temperature (°C): Calculate Guaranteed shelf life (years): Calculate Disclaimer: The information provided by Scentabile is for general informational purposes only. The use of the industry stan...
