Luvcandletarts2 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I hadn't been here in quite a while and hope to be able to stay now. I see I have lots of reading to catch up on all the new trends, etc. Saying hello to everyone and will be searching the gallery and looking at everyone's beautiful creations. So glad to be back. Hopefully planning an Essential Oil Co-op in August. Am open to anyone's favorite places for getting essential oils and what essential oils everyone is wanting. Will keep everyone posted.

Candybee Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Welcome back! I tend to buy my EOs at Camden-Grey and Soapmakingresource.com. There are several favorite EO suppliers but those two I get the bulk of my EOs from. I just bought a bunch last week so I'm good for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read through the forums for tips-wondering if you have any additional words of wisdom for using EO in candles? The FO are starting to give me a bit of a headache-literally-and I would feel much better with natural ingredients. Yet I am aware that FO might work a lot more easily than EO, in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I use EOs for my soapmaking and FOs for candles so can't help you there. You are very limited with scent choices using EOs in candles. Also, many simply don't work. But some have had limited success with a few. Many of the FOs I use in candles are infused with EOs. Also, I always wear a respirator when making candles. I am not surprised you get headaches pouring candles using FOs. They give off toxic vapors and you should not injest them. After time you can develop serious lung or a variety of health issues if you don't protect yourself. I got my respirator from Lowes Home Improvement for about $50 plus the filters. You can't smell anything with the respirator on. Also, its OSHA approved so I know its safe. I used to have a bad cough for several days after pouring candles. After using the respirator I no longer have a cough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Depending on the component causing your headache, eo might still do the same. Volatile compounds can cause sensitization. Wear a respirator as you make them, and make sure your work area is VERY well ventilated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvcandletarts2 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Bulk Apothecary doesn't give out where their Essential OIls are from? I will check into Camden-Grey and Soapmakingresource. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not used the EO's in candles as of yet. I am just starting to use them in bath and body products. I do use the EO's in my handmade natural cleaning products so far.
