Quality of EO's when using in aromathreapy candles?

[Guest guest]

Just was wondering for people that have experience with using EO's in their

candles, whether or not it is important to use organic EO's. I feel like it is

just important to purchase what you would use in bath products, etc. Smell

is very important, but again the cost of organic EO's, 1oz. per lb of natural

wax seems to be pretty expensive. Any advice?

 

Thanks,

Renee

Hi Renee,

 

I do believe it is important to use EO's in candles rather than FO's -

cause when burning candles you are emitting into the air all the

chemicals that are in the candles - which includes the wax, the

fragrances, etc .. that is why at A Little Ol'Factory we only use EO's

in our candles and only use natural waxes.

 

There have also been recent studies that prove the benefits of putting

EO's into candles (benefits you could never get from a FO candle, OR

from just having EO's sitting out on their own!)

I don't think its as important to use a more costly EO in your candles

(such as certified organic) cause in the case of distilled oils, the

pesticides don't come through though the distillation process into the

finished product .. but I'd still want an oil that was as pure as

possible if possible.

Maybe try using less eo per lb. That 1 oz per lb amount is really for fo's

I think. I'm finding that if you use to much eo your candle will burn and

smell like petro fuel instead of the actual eo.

 

I think the use of organic is a personal choice/feeling so can't help with

that.

Why are you using so much EO ? In my soap and inmy soy candles, I use at the

most, 1 oz FO or 0.5 oz EO per pound of oils or wax
