TallTayl Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 For what application? in soap and candles I tend to use lavender 40/42 essential oil. It is the more herbaceous side of lavender vs the flowery/powdery most FO tend to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 In bath bombs, I’ve read that lavender reacts poorly with Epsom salt. If you use that, give a good sniff before committing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 @TallTayl Would you use 40/42 for soy candles as well? I've never used an essential oil for candlemaking. GoldieMN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Fragrance Buddy Lavender Sage is the only lavender I like because it smells realistic, other ones are either powdery or perfumes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilFirecracker Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Pure Fragrance Oils has an awesome Lavender! It definitely doesn't have that strong chemical cleaner smell that some have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Wax I go with the Lavender that Peak's used to carry ... now carried by Keystone. Lavender 40/42 for soap. Did not experience the problem in bath bombs mentioned earlier with 40/42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
