ScentedPleasurez Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Does anyone know if their fragrances are compatible with wax?

Sarah S Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I have never ordered from them, but they have a lot of intriguing products. I know their B&B bases get rave reviews. In general, it seems like I get the best throw and the most winners from companies that specialize in wax products, such as CS, CW, Flaming, etc.; a range of great to terrible from companies that dabble in wax and B&B, like Aztec and NG, and not many winners from companies that are mostly B&B like Nurture and WSP. That's just my personal observation though, and I will be the first to admit that I haven't been doing this as long as others who may have differing opinions. 😁 Since you posted this though, I'm going to hop over there and check it out because I make a lot of soap too! 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 EBC is like most every other company when it comes to scents. You are going to have hits and misses. I've used a few scents from them. I don't remember off the top of my head which ones they were, but I do remember thinking I needed to buy more scents from them to test out, so that tells me they were good enough in all my applications that I would buy again. Not sure if that helps at all, but that's my experience with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentedPleasurez Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 I was totally having a blonde moment day yesterday lol They are not for candle use strictly bath and body,but my mind kept taking it from a candle perspective "safe for bath and body" 😇 Im not trying to create a bomb over here. Lol Great prices and like @Sarah S i have heard nothing but good about this company. @Jcandleattic thank you! I am still going to order a couple fragrances that i seen. Ill whip something up with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used them in candles. IMO soap and candle scents can be interchangeable as long as the scent is skin safe at a high enough %. Unless they have water in them or are water based fragrances (which, personally I have never seen at any reputable FO supplier) then I would think they would be fine in candle/wax formulas. The ones I got from them worked just fine in my candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentedPleasurez Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 I was convinced that since they were safe in bath and body that they could be used in candles as well. The majority of all fo that i purchase i try to make sure that i can use them in other applications. I emailed them last night,and the response that i got back this morning was that they are not formulated for candle making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I've never had a B&B safe fo that I didn't use in candles, it's more the other way around with being careful to have B&B safe for those products. I think what they are telling you is they don't formulate and test in candles only in B&B. Edited August 16, 2018 by kandlekrazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) EBC has a little bit of a sale going now. Have any of you dabbled in their FOs and can comment on them? Or anything else from there, really. Candybee turned me onto that Hydrating Cleansing Conditioner by so sweetly sending me a jar to try, and I think I'm going to finally get a jug of it.

ktaggard Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) They are located near me, so I have used them a lot. I use many of their essential oils and a few of their fragrance oils. Their lotion bases were wonderful until they started using a new perservative that did not smell good to me. I do like their body spray and Goat's milk liquid hand soap bases. They have been great for the most part. I have noticed that a few of their fragrance oils smoke a little when making my candle melts. When I say smoked, I mean that I can see them evaporating off the wax as I stir. I do mix in my FOs when my wax is quite hot, but I have noticed this visual evaporation more on their fos then from any other companies. Not sure why this happens, lower flash point perhaps??, but it does. I usually add a little more than my 10% FO and still have a strong candle melt. (I have not made wicked candles with them, so not sure how they would behave) Edited September 5, 2019 by ktaggard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
