HEHMOM Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Has anyone tried fo's from Brambleberry or Sweetcakes in candles. Just curious since they seem to be mostly into soaps,etc. type products. I have a chance to buy some fo's from someone who is getting out of the soap and candlemaking business. She told me they would work in candles. Just would like some expert advice from those of you that have been in the candlemaking for a while. Curious on scent throw, and I'd be using soy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HEHMOM Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thanks for all the responses! On Brambleberry's website it says their soapmaking oils can be used for candlemaking. My only concern now is the flashpoint differences. Which I see someone has this posted on differenet thread also. So I looked that up on web also, seems to be only a concern with gel candles. Anyone agree, tried this, or know different. Feel free to chime in. Thanks much !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetPatoot Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 just received an order from Brambleberry, very professional, very quick shipping....great scents. I ordered Spearmint Eucalyptus, great scent, not overpowering like some eucalyptus and just a touch of spearmint. They sent me a small (1oz?) bottle of Melon Tea, and WOW! I love it, I keep taking the cap off and smelling it. hth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
