I understand what your saying. My customers told me they wanted the same thing. A one or 2 word name so I came up with Candele. I wanted something different but that would stick out. Candele means candles in portugese. I wanted a foreign word but nothing ridiculous. So I went to alta fish translate and kept typing words to see what they would be in another language. Candele is the closest I came that sounded fine and my customers love it.

Now Brenda I love that one...it's so simple but yet sounds elegant. That could be a nationwide company! Love it!

My favorite blend is our C3 blend....Duhhh I thought you meant scent.....guess I need to go to bed! Good night!

I'm with you candledog. I use the ecos from Lonestar and the results are great!

Sure...I usually pour at about 120 for the C3--or a real slushy stage. Then stir up good right before you pour. let the candles cool themselves down. And whatever you do....Do not put them in fridge or freezer! They will definitely crack. I know most people say to pour C3 hot but I have been playing with it for like 2 years now and that was what worked for me. I add the beeswax because I wanted to keep the wax as close to natural,,,besides the scent,,, as I could. (Our candles are totally colorless unless the scent tints them). My 2 year old has some respiratory problems so paraffin it totally out of the question! Sounds like the "parafin before beeswax" guy was pitching to you. Hope this helps!

We use ecos.....that's all we'll ever use.

What you do and how you handle it is totally up to you. We do offer a stand if the store wants one. We also sell in cases of at least 4. It just rounds things up for us. Also, when you sell wholesale you make more money the more candles you sell. So selling them by the case, to us, we found is best. Once the store has a "relationship" established with us, then we allow them to mix n match the scents per case of candles. Until then, we require them to by 1 case of 4 per scent. We never sell on consignment because most places don't care about your candles and some don't even try to sell them. Hope this helps...

The only time I have ever had soy crack is when I tried to put the candles in the fridge (when I first started making them). I never did that again and I haven't had any problems since.

OMG they even tell you how big the print on the ingredient label needs to be.....geeesshhhhh....

Here is a link t the FDA. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-lab1.html As I can see it has all of the regulations there.

I use Cargill Nature Wax C3 and I never have the problem of frosting on the tops. I also use eco wicks as well. I used to use EZ Soy but I always got the frosting effects and many of my customers didn't like the look. Sometimes I could take a hair dryer to them to smooth the tops out but I didn't want to hassel with it anymore.

Do you know where to get Vitamin E whoelsale. Everywhere I have looked is soooooo expensive uggghhhh!!!

I looked on the web site you are talking about to see what she had and when I went to checkout it said that I would be charged actual shipping when it was totaled but for now I would be charged just the price to pay it. My website calculates shipping when you checkout and I wouldn't have it any toehr way. If shipping can't be calculated when I checkout, I just won't buy. I know some people want to charge exact shipping rates but I can't take the chance of my cc being charged way more than I could pay.

We sell dpg for $3.00/lb.

The scented oils we make and sell do wonderful in potpourri burners/oil burners. The only problem I have had is we only use the purest oils and just the other day I just made a batch of Blueberry Cheesecake. My hubby saw it and loved the smell. He dumped some in one of our potpourri burners and I thought I was going to croak! I love the smell but it really needed to be cut with dpg, at least once! So I guess it would just depend on the scent and the strength. We always recommend that if customers buy our scents to use in potpourri burners that they either buy the dpg and cut it themselves or buy the strength that we cut just for that use! We have never had any problems with the flashpoints and we test all of our oils before we sell them.
