You can't. Fragrance oils are made up of hundreds of aromachemicals, which might include essential oils. They are beyond homemaking...

For example, here's a list of the ingredients found in fragrance oils

PS I am just trying to make then as much "natural" as I can, then essential oils are probably the best option?

Thank you so much for your advice!

Do you know how to find the right wick? I am trying different kind...and didn;t find the perfect solution yet.

Thank you! I will try to heat the jars and see if it makes any difference.

Thank you.

I use Cargill C-3 soy wax and tumblers - 2.5" diameter, 3" tall

I am having problems wicking - getting right wick - trying zinc core (not good) and also hemp core. Any suggestion?

Do you have any supplier recomendations ?

Thank you for all yoru help!

YOU BUY THE FRAGRACE OILS. Unless you know what you are doing, don't start with E/O And no, you don't add Johoba oil . That's for B&B stuff.

Thank you! How can I make FO?

Hello Candlemakers:

I am a newbie to making candles and desperately need your help!! I am trying to pour Cargill C-3 Soy Wax into a glass tumbler 2.5" diameter, 3" tall. I am able to get a good pour with minor sinking near the wick - so far so good! My problem - after about 2 or 3 days the wax starts to come away from the glass tumbler. They are stored in a climate control area of 68% so its not a temp issue. I even had one last night that had great adhesion, but after burning for about an hour it pulled away about 80% from the glass. Any tips, ideas, suggestions??

Looking for HELP!

We are trying to do all natural soy candles so we don't know what to do if we are going to stick with C-3 Cargill Soy Wax. Here's the weird thing. I poured some really beautiful tumbler candles last week and let them sit for a few days. They looked great right until we lit them which is when they got their 'wet spots' isn't that strange?? What could be causing this? Is there an all natural additive that we can add to keep the adherance? Thanks everyone for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

Hello,

I know that the difference between essential and FO that FO is dilluted with jojoba or other additives. Does anyone know the formula for a FO for candle making?
