dell Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Does anybody know of a good supplier of essential oil for soy wax? I'd like to make special candles this holiday as gifts. I am located here in NY. I used to buy at new directions aromatics, it's ok but not that great. I would appreciate your help.Dell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 There are drawbacks (scent throw, not to mention safety) to using EOs in candles, but if you still want to pursue it, one of the best places IMO is essentialoils.org. He really knows his stuff, and you can buy in different "grades" (locations). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 EOs can also be alot pricier than FOs. There are alot of really nice FOs out there that do well in soy and are easier on the pocketbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlewitch Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Then again, there are several E.0.'s that are less money then F.O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 That is why I said they CAN be pricier..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dell Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thanks guys. The only reason i am geared towards EO's is that i believe this will be a preference in the high end market- my boss knows i am making candles and wanted me to make some for her to give to her friends. Her specs - environmental friendly candles. So i thought i will use EO's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dell Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thanks Henryk. I checked essentialorg and pricewise it's good. I will buy some samples (lavender, patchouli & tea tree) and make some tests.Will let you know how it fares with new directions aromatics.

Arlene Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I placed an order with Save on Scents last week and noticed on the UPS tracking that it started out in Maspeth, Queens. I just checked the site and they list Brooklyn as their address. They carry EO's. I haven't gotten my order yet so I can't give you a thumbs up or down. Might be worth a try.
