ok that makes sense, it just worried me because i haven't come across anything with that low of a flash point. I primarily want to use EO's because I am a massage therapist and i would like to eventually offer these candles for therapeutic benefits for my clients. But i want to completely know what I am doing before i start spending an exuberant amount on oils. well thanks for the explanation, now i wont be so paranoid when i start using EO's.
