Fragrance Load Calculator

Enter a wax weight and a fragrance load and this returns the weight of fragrance oil to add, the finished weight, and the load written both ways, because a percentage of the wax and a percentage of the finished total are different numbers. It also runs backwards from a bottle of oil you already have, and across a batch of containers with an allowance for what stays in the pouring pot. Everything is weight in ounces, pounds, grams or kilograms, never volume, since oils differ in density. Your wax's maximum load and your oil's flashpoint come from the supplier's data sheet and are flagged, not guessed.
