Creating CLP Labels for Blended Fragrance/Essential Oils

If you’re a UK-based candle maker, you’ll already know how important it is to stay compliant with CLP regulations. Clear, accurate labelling isn’t just a legal requirement, it also keeps your customers safe and helps your products look professional. But things can feel a little more complicated when you’re working with blends of fragrance oils rather than single oils.

At Glow CLP, we specialise in creating and printing CLP labels for makers. While we don’t calculate CLP information for blended oils ourselves, we can work directly from the documents you provide to create and print CLP labels that are fully compliant and ready for your products. Here’s how it works.

Why a blend of oils require extra attention

When you use a single fragrance oil, calculating your CLP information is straightforward – most oil suppliers provide a CLP document and SDS sheet with the exact information required.

But when you start blending oils, things change.

Mixing oils creates a new mixture, and this mixture requires its own hazard classification. Because of this, you’ll need to work with a specialist CLP authoring company. They will assess the blend, calculate its classification, and provide the correct CLP data for your labels.

This ensures:

• Accurate hazard statements
• Correct signal words
• Appropriate pictograms
• Relevant precautionary statements

How we can help once you have your blends calculated

Although we don’t offer CLP calculations or authoring services, we’re here to make the next stage simple.

Once you have your CLP documentation from your authoring company, we can:

✔ Create your CLP label layout

We’ll take the information provided and format it into a clear, compliant, professional label design.

✔ Ensure your label meets UK CLP regulations

Because we’re familiar with CLP layout requirements, we make sure your label contains everything it should, and nothing it shouldn’t.

✔ Print your labels

Choose your label size and we will print and despatch your labels sheets, ready to make your products retail ready.

What you will need to provide

To create and print your CLP labels for blended oils, simply send us:

• The final CLP document/SDS for the finished blend at the percentage you are using it
• The fragrance name you want on the label
• Your required label size
• Your business details, including business name, address and telephone

From there, we’ll handle the layout and printing.
