Hi Lia, thank you for the video. I would love to be able to create all natural products. Unfortunately I tried essential oils in soy wax and I can sent in all of them burning smell. In some less than the other. So far I tired mostly at 4% lemongrass, bergamot, neroli, lavender and rose geranium. Non of them had pure scent without a hint of something burning. I can't say the same about parfume.
Great advice. Thank you.
Fab information, thank you for sharing ❤
One other thing to note is not to use a diffuser in a room where the pets food or water is sitting out as well. Learned that the hard way….
😥 that is important to know
Very helpful Thank you ❤
I'm glad you found it helpful!!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
I am rather new at making candles. I started with beeswax and it seemed difficult to smell the essential oil
Some essential oils have a very light scent, it's all about choosing the stronger affected ones. Oils like Cinnamon, Lavender, and Jasmine all have strong accents!
I’ve been using essential oils in my body products for years and just made the leap to candles and shocked to find out you can not use some essential oils. This is becoming an expensive learning curve. You mentioned citrus but they are labeled as one of the worse for candles as they have a very low flashpoint so when they come in contact with the flame the scent burns off quickly and the result is it smells like burning rubber. Now I tried bergamot (which you also mentioned) and it burns off at a low flashpoint and the hot throw smells like kerosene. How are you using these without these bad results?? I’m using an eco soy was that allowed 10% oil. Is there a trick? Am I doing something wrong? I bought oils that all have the flash point listed on the bottle. I’m so disappointed that now I’m trying to find a half way decent FO that is not bad for me and smells natural and just wish I could be using EOs. What’s your experience to date??
Same questions!
