When using essential oils I’m not getting a very good scent throw. I have been adding them directly to the wax at around 140f, is this to hot should it be at a lower temperature.
Most forums whether US or UK recommend around 3.5 - 5% essential oil, that is very expensive
I was wondering if adding the essential oils to carrier oil would be better. I then could up the % of essential oil to wax as it would be easier to weight.
Would this work and if so which carrier oil would be most suited.
